| Breaking: Blast rocks Belfast's Palace Barracks |
| 2010-04-11 |
| POLICE report an explosion at Palace Barracks in Belfast, Sky News said. The BBC said a number of families have been moved from their homes. Police and the fire service were at the scene. Local eyewitnesses said they heard a large bang just after midnight (local time), the BBC reports. There were no immediate reports of injuries. The BBC said the blast seems to have been timed to coincide with the precise moment that policing and justice powers devolved from Westminster to Stormont. |

| #1 I went pub crawling with an Irish civil engineer friend in Belfast in Nov 1982. With all the British Army and RUC vehicles running about that night, heavily armed, I felt that I was in the set for Bladerunner. This guy came into our pub and asked if anybody wanted to buy a raffle ticket for two round trip airline tickets. I asked him where the tickets destination was. He answered me, "Bosnia, someplace, I don't know." |
