Probably dissidents. They robbed a gun shop the other week and they've had a couple of viables defused and one that a couple of cops only just walked away from. Peace, eh?

Where do you work that it would be a target?

Probably dissidents, i.e. the CIRA. It could also be the LVF but it's unlikely as they don't seem to have been up to much bombing recently.

Either way, it's probably the work of some unemployed dole scroungers who use a "cause" as an excuse to carry out their criminality.
 
I remember having to go for an interview at the BBC in Belfast, 10 minutes before I headed towards the building and the cops started cordoning off the street at both sides, then metal mickey turned up in the back of a lorry, wasn't overly bothered as it was nice and sunny but I ended up waiting for a couple of hours for the interview which was a shambles in the end.

Although nowhere near as frequent nowadays (down to about 1 a week now in Lurgan), bomb scares were and are a part of our daily life in Northern Ireland. I used to love them, especially when in school as we'd get let out into the main street for an hour or two or if the threat was credible enough we'd get sent home early. The best one at school was when the principal came out with a shovel, lifted the bomb onto it and carried it out to the handball alleys out the back, just before the army arrived. It was funny seeing this ridiculous man in a suit walking along with a long tail shovel in his hand and a lunchbox on the end which looked to be full of semtex (probably baking dough though).:D

Not to mention that it was usually quite cool to watch the whole operation unfold. The army would arrive with the bomb squad and secure the whole area, there'd be helicopters everywhere, Saracen armoured vehicles, police in Tangis. Then after a while some kids would come out and start to throw stones at the army. Going back a while, it used to be men shooting bullets at them but things have calmed down.
