Britain dispatched hundreds more troops to Northern Ireland after Prime Minister James Chichester-Clark announced new forces. A large blast rocked downtown Belfast injuring and damaging a hair salon and a bottling plant. It remains unclear if the attack was by the IRA or Protestant extremists. London warned all sides that civil rights reforms must continue, while Belfast and Dublin awaited a Ulster Unionist leadership vote. 300 Royal artillery personnel sailed from Liverpool as part of 1,300 promised troops, part of Chichester-Clark’s resignation crisis.
