Terrorism near to home

In these days of a global war on terror, it is worth remembering just how evil it can get. In Northern Ireland the terrorists were living within miles of their victims- part of a divided community who rarely talk. In a set of little known statistics from the times of ‘The Troubles’ it is worth reflecting that

One out of 500 lost their life,

and oneout of 50 were maimed or

injured. Therewas no single human

being in NorthernIreland who didn’t

know someone whohad suffered.
