..off. He was buried under rubble but was dragged from under the debris suffering from shock & a facial cuts. He said: "I smelled the burning too. Just then there was a bang & the bar came in around me". The 3rd customer received a shoulder injury. The bomb (50lbs of explosive)..
..was left at the doorway in a metal container with its fuse lit.
A call made to the BBC claimed the UFF was responsible. In '81, a self-confessed UVF member was sentenced for life.
SEFF’s thoughts & prayers are with all innocents impacted by these brutal senseless murders.
