This is rather more scary than the earlier soldier shootings. This looks like the 'proper' IRA; meaning, ex-IRA members who didn't approve of disarming. One of the key lines demonstrating the amateur nature of the shootings was when the car used was recovered. "Attempts to set it alight had failed." You drip some fuel on it and light it, it's not hard. This bomb is huge and involves big-time explosives deals. Two of the alleged soldier killers are in custody and likely to be convicted. Dealing with this level of crime is a much bigger task. Blood Red Sandman (Talk) (Contribs) 18:55, 9 September 2009 (UTC)
- Most likely idiots from the Real IRA who have been dissidents since the Good Friday Agreement back 11 years ago. Apparently, the bomb was bigger than Omagh and we all know how that turned out. --Patrick M (TUFKAAP) (talk) 13:40, 10 September 2009 (UTC)
