Ah , I didn't realise they did that. Still , nothing those ****s did
would surprise me.


I seem to recall that they sometimes claimed that it was just confusion,
not a deliberate attempt. It's certainly true that their warnings were
often unclear about the target, but that may sometimes have been because
of ignorance/panic/confusion.


No. It happened too often to be random errors. Some of our Irish
neighbours hate us as much as the latest wave of bombers ( but we
still let them tout for money in English pubs) and their tactics and
individual attrocities were as bad as current terrorism.
