The New IRAs Daring Proxy Bomb Attack: A Pizza Delivery Drivers Ordeal
In a shocking turn of events, the New IRA has claimed responsibility for a proxy bomb attack on a police station in Lurgan, County Armagh. The attack involved two masked men hijacking a pizza delivery driver, forcing him to transport a crude but viable bomb to the stations doorstep. The car was parked behind a blast wall, leading to a controlled explosion and the evacuation of around one hundred homes. The incident has been widely condemned, particularly due to the drivers regular deliveries to the station.

On April 3rd, the new IRA just claimed responsibility for a proxy bomb attack on a police station in Lurgen County, ARMA, forcing a pizza delivery driver to haul the device right to the door. Two masked men hijacked the driver around 10.30 pm on Tuesday in the Kilwilke estate, stuck the crude but viable bomb in the trunk of his white, Audi A4, and made him drive it past an empty security post straight to the station. The car ended up parked behind a blast wall where Army bomb experts did a controlled explosion, but not before evacuating around 100 homes in the area. Everyone from locals to officials condemned the move hard, especially since the driver got picked because he regularly drops off pizzas at that PSNI. Station, this echoes a brutal 2009 real IRA hit at Maserine Army Base where two young soldiers, a 23-year-old from Birmingham, and a 21-year-old from London got gunned down during a fake pizza delivery, leaving others wounded two shows, these dissidents still playing
