We have drawn on a number of different sources to compile this list of events. It is used to interweave events taking place outside the negotiations with our digital timelines.
The PIRA launched three bomb attacks at British Army check points. The attacks became know as 'proxy bombs' or 'human bombs' because three Catholic men, whom the PIRA claimed had worked for the security forces, were tied into cars or vans which had been loaded with explosives and ordered to drive to the check points. At the Coshquin checkpoint near Derry five soldiers and the man who was forced to drive the car were all killed. In a second attack, at Killeen near Newry, a soldier was killed. The third bomb, that had been driven to Omagh, County Tyrone, failed to detonate. Those killed were Patrick Gillespie (42), the civilian forced to drive one of the vans, and British service personnel, Stephen Burrows (30), Stephen Beacham (38), Paul Worrall (23), Scott Vincent (21), David Sweeney (19), and Cyril Smith (21).
