My task was to find some news that was related to the sort story. So here is it.
Some weeks ago the people of Belfast were worried about some bomb threats. These threats came from a group called Real IRA. In the last post Håvard wrote some thing about IRA. Real IRA is highly related to IRA. The Real-IRA is a break-away group of IRA. They claimed in their threats that they were going to set up a car-bomb near a school. The government has taken the threats seriously and they think that Real IRA have smuggled a bomb into northern-Ireland.
The reason I brought up this news was because it is related to the short-story. Real IRA is a group who is works for Northern-Ireland being a part of Ireland just like the Republican at the time the short story takes place. Real IRA uses terror as an instrument to promote their view. Before this incident there was a long period of truce between the two parts of the conflict, but now the conflict may resume.
The Irish papers did not write much about these incidents, but I got lot of information from British papers.
This is very important news you have found there. The fact that the IRA has started threatening the people of Northern Ireland is pretty grave when you think of how serious the situation was in the 1970s. I do also hope that the conflict becomes so serious.
