A Real IRA member who tried to bomb Britain with an explosive device larger than the one that caused the 1998 Omagh massacre has been murdered in the Irish Republic.
Larry Keane, who was known as "Bomber", was found fatally injured in a walkway in Athy, Co Kildare on Thursday night, the Garda Síochána said. He died in hospital on Friday morning.

His death came in the same week that another Real IRA bomber, Seamus McKenna, was buried in his native Co Louth near the border. McKenna had been named in a civil action taken by families of the Omagh victims who accused him of transporting the Real IRA bomb to the Co Tyrone market town in August 1998. He died from injuries after falling from the roof of a school in Dundalk last week but was kept alive on a life support machine until his organs could be donated.

....... those disgusting, inbred Loyalist hicks that were rioting last week are no better .

Blimey FT, don't beat about the bush mate, tell us what you really think

The Irish Daily Star reported he said, “It is certainly highly likely there are currently cells operating on the mainland UK
