Description: | As the capital of England (and latterly Great Britain) since mediaeval times, London has long been a target for terrorist violence. In the latter third of the 20th Century, much of that violence was perpetrated by the Provisional Irish Republican Army (PIRA) and similar organisations. One of the attacks occurred when a massive truck bomb was detonated in Bishopsgate, in the City, on 24th April 1993. The bomb killed one person, injured 44 and caused up to ��1 billion worth of damage. This photograph clearly shows the damage caused by the blast, with all of windows being blown out of the skyscraper in the background. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/ | Publisher: | Bishopsgate Institute | Rights holder: | Bishopsgate Institute | Subjects: | Power and Politics Cityscape | Temporal: | 1993 | Source: | Bishopsgate Institute | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Go to resource |
