Belfast bombing backfires killing girl and two accomplices
A Belfast Falls Road bombing mission backfired when a girl carrying a bag bomb blew up inside a cash and carry store killing her and two accomplices. At least six bystanders were injured as soldiers and police rushed to the scene amid rioting. The blast occurred ahead of a Whitelaw meeting with SDLP leaders on ending internment without trial, a move seen as easing the political crisis in Northern Ireland.
