Ironically it was on an occasion when a bomb was phoned in that led to the single biggest atrocity during the troubles. 29 people killed by a cat bomb in Omagh. We may not be living in peace today has it not happened

“The Omagh bombing was a car bombing on 15 August 1998 in the town of Omagh, County Tyrone, Northern Ireland, United Kingdom. (...) Telephoned warnings had been sent almost forty minutes beforehand and police inadvertently moved people toward the bomb.”

Probably a car bomb. The IRA were infamous for those.

Thanks. Apparently it's no longer cool to ask questions on HN, since I had no idea what a cat bomb was, yet a mod flagged it regardless.

It was probably plan #513 on how to kill Castro.

Notes: Put bomb in cute cat. Castro is known to pat strays three times. Use that as the trigger.
