Suicide bombers - SF/IRA style
Human Bombs: Sinn Fein/IRA's version of bravery.
Sinn Fein/IRA love to portray themselves as brave heroes but these facts show the true lack of courage and disregard for human life that they have.
A brief description of "Proxy/Human Bombs" IRA/SF style; A person is kidnapped, beaten and their family are held hostage, they are tied and bound into a vehicle which contains a bomb and forced to drive it to a destination decided by the SinnFein/IRA terrorist. If they can escape well and good if not they die with anyone else that happens to be about.
Here are a few examples of Sinn Fein/IRAs Human Bombs.
24/10/1990 -
While his family was held hostage in their Londonderry home, Patrick
Gillespie, RC, 42, married, 3 children was forced to drive a car
loaded with a bomb into the Buncrana Road checkpoint in Coshquin. The
explosion killed Patsy as well as 5 young soldiers from the Kings
Regiment. Stephen Burrows 30, from Blackpool. He left behind a wife
and a 3 year old son. Stephen Beachem, 20, from Warrington, Cheshire
Vincent Scott, 21, from Walton, Liverpool David Sweeney, 19, from
Widnes, Cheshire Paul Worrall, 23, from Runcorn, Cheshire As the bomb
exploded, gunmen opened fire from the safe haven across the border.
Four years earlier Patsy had narrowly escaped death when he was forced
to drive another human bomb to a local Army base. RC Bishop of Derry,
Dr Edward Daly accused the IRA of "crossing a new threshold of evil"
17 civilians were injured in the attack.

68 year old James McEvoy escaped injured after being forced to drive a
bomb into a checkpoint at Killeen, outside Newry. Cyril Smith, 21, P,
from the Royal Irish Rangers, died in the explosion, 13 of his
colleagues were injured. He was from Carrickfergus. At the inquest
into the atrocity James McEvoy said he was awakened in the middle of
the night to see two figures standing over him wearing balaclavas.
They blindfolded him before taking him some distance. He was ordered
to drive a car towards the checkpoint and if he did not comply two of
his sons would be murdered. He was to tell the soldiers there was a
bomb and they had 40 minutes to get clear. In reality though, within
seconds of Mr. McEvoy abandoning the car, the bomb was detonated.
James McEvoy died 7 months later. A relative said he "never got over
what happened that night in October".

Another Proxy attempt on the same day at Lisanelly Army base, Omagh,
failed when the main bomb didn't explode. A man had been strapped to
the car seat and forced to drive the bomb in, while his wife and 7
year old child were held hostage.

22/11/90 -
At around 9:30pm, a number of armed and masked men took over a house
in Newtownbutler. A man was taken out while his elderly parents were
tied up in a toilet. He was driven to the IRA's safe haven of the
Irish Republic were they held him in a derelict house. From there he
was taken away in a Toyota pickup truck accompanied by two armed men.
He was made to drive the truck to Annaghmartin, Fermanagh checkpoint
and told that the truck carried a bomb on a 5 minute timer. At the
checkpoint he shouted a warning and there was a small explosion. The
bomb itself failed to go off. On examination, the bomb contained
3,500lb of homemade explosives, the biggest IRA bomb to date. Had it
exploded it would have caused enormous havoc, destruction and certain
death.

IRA force a man to drive a 500lb human bomb into a UDR base in
Magherafelt, Co. Londonderry by holding his wife hostage in another
car. The driver shouted a warning and escaped before the bomb
exploded. Part of the base and 50 surrounding houses were badly
damaged. 3 members of the man's company had already been murdered by
nationalists because the firm survived by buliding for the security
forces.

On the day before John Hume and Gerry Adams issued their first joint
statement, the IRA exploded a one ton bomb in Bishopsgate, London. The
bomb caused damage estimated at upwards of a billion pounds. On the
same day two taxi drivers were used as human bombs in nationalist
attempts to blow up London, it failed when the drivers managed to
abandon their taxi's and shout warnings.

IRA Gardai Collusion in murder of Ian Sproule

From Lisleen Rd, Killen, near Castlederg, he was shot by the IRA as he
was parking his car outside his house. It later emerged that his
photograph was among a list of loyalist suspects in Gardai files. He
appeared on a Garda document with 'UVF' marked beside his name. The
IRA gave a copy to a Londonderry journalist. The document said Ian
Sproule was wanted in connection with the planting of incendiary
devices in business premises at Ballybofey, Castlefin and Letterkenny

These firebombings, however, had been claimed by the UFF rather than
the UVF. The IRA's possession of the Gardai document caused a major
security row. The dead man was one of a number of members of
Castlederg First Presbyterian Church who were killed by the IRA. The
minister at the church said that Ian Sproule's funeral was the 23rd
IRA victim's to pass along Main Street in the town. He said he had
buried nine of those dead and that "no one has been charged for any".
The first of these victims was Private William Bogle.

Garda spies helped IRA to murder 12 people
Garda spies helped IRA to murder 12 people
Karl Brophy
GARDA Commissioner Pat Byrne has ordered a fresh inquiry into
allegations that two gardaí colluded with the IRA resulting in the
murder of at least 12 people.
A senior Garda officer has been appointed to examine files relating to
the dozen deaths over a period of eight years, Justice Minister John
ODonoghue told the Dáil yesterday.
Fine Gael TDs, Charles Flanagan and Jim Higgins, have demanded an
investigation at the highest level into claims that two named gardai
co operated with the IRA to organise a series of ambushes, shootings
and bombings.
Commissioner Byrne has ordered an investigation into five separate
incidents to ascertain if there is enough evidence to bring charges
against the gardaí who allegedly acted as IRA moles.
It is believed the accused gardai, who were based in the border
region, passed on information about meetings, security handovers and
travel arrangements of senior RUC police officers to the Provisionals.
The crimes include:
The 1991 abduction, torture and subsequent murder of a Louth man, Tom
Oliver, who informed gardaí of IRA activity in the county.
The killing of four RUC men on May 20, 1985. Tracy Doak, 21, Steven
Rodgers, 19, David Baird, 22 and Bill Wilson, 28, died in a bomb
explosion when travelling in two unmarked RUC patrol cars. The bomb
exploded as they approached a secret location, agreed beforehand with
the Garda authorities. They were due to take over responsibility for
the escort of security van from the gardaí at that secret location.
The killing of Northern Irelands Lord Justice Lord Gibson and his
wife Cecily in an IRA bomb explosion on April 25, 1987. Again, the
explosion happened at the precise point where a garda escort passed
over the responsibility for security to the RUC, a location only known
to a small section of the Republics police force.
A botched IRA attempt to kill another judge, Eoin Higgins, and his
wife in April of 1988 which resulted in the murder of three members of
a Northern Ireland family. Robert Hanna, 45, his wife Maureen, 44, and
their son David, 7, were all killed in an explosion at the point where
the RUC was supposed to take over the escort duty for Judge Higgins
car.
The killing on March 20, 1989 of RUC Chief Supt Harry Breen and Supt
Bob Buchanan who were ambushed and shot by the Provisional IRA. The
police officers had travelled to a Garda station near the border for a
highly secret meeting with senior gardaí.
An investigation in the early 1990s was carried out into the
allegations but Justice Minister John ODonoghue told the Dáil no
tangible evidence was uncovered at the time which could result in
prosecutions.

A report appeared indicating further cases of Gardai collusion with

pointing out cases of complicity with terrorism within the RUC but
ignore equivalent cases relating to Gardai collusion with Republicans.

It appears that the Gardai were passing intelligence to the IRA
concerning movements of members of the RUC and members of the
judiciary which led to the deaths of a number of people at the hands
of Republicans. Of course IRA moles within the Gardai have never been
caught or punished for their crimes.

As victims we find such complicity and cover-up disgusting, especially
when members of the current Irish government would criticise the UK
government for alledged RUC collusion and call for public inquiries.
We demand that a public inquiry into this takes place and that any
involved are brought to justice. We have contacted the Taioseach
regarding collusion within both police and government but have not
received adequate an response. We are not saying that all Gardai are
corrupt, however the high number of unsolved murders along the border
requires attention, especially when such details have become apparent.
