In Londonderry a 40 pound gelignite device exploded as troops disbursed youths who were stoning them after a bomb had been found at a bowling pavilion in Rosemount.

The incident raises the Northern Ireland death toll to 300 with 94 deaths this year. The article also notes Sinn Fein and Kennedy discussions and a Belfast court release related to a pregnant Catholic woman’s assault by Provisional IRA members.
