The list of the dead from the bombing has been removed, in accordance with Wikipedia regulations, but for people interested in it, it can still be found here: Previous page version, including names--Jackyd101 17:58, 20 April 2006 (UTC) should something be mentioned about Gerry adams being a pallbearer at the funeral of the bomber that died?
[edit] The target and Terrorism
1. In this case terrorism is POV and should be removed.
2. The target was UDA leadership not "Unionist"--Vintagekits 20:31, 26 January 2007 (UTC)
- You may be right on the second point, I'll conceed that. However, in this instance, the term terrorism is not POV. This was a deliberate attack on a civilian target, fact that the target was intended to be empty of civilians at the time of the attack is irrelevent. Nine civilians WERE killed. This alone makes it a terrorist attack, regardless of any of a dozen other arguments for the term--Jackyd101 21:17, 26 January 2007 (UTC)
- Unfortunately civilians were injured and killed in this attack, however, were civilians the target of the attack?--Vintagekits 21:20, 26 January 2007 (UTC)
- There you raise firstly the issue of whether the UDA were civilians or not, their organisation was not recognised as a military one by any official body. However this is irrelevant, because even if the target was military (which is debatable), the victims of the attack weren't. See your own talk page for a definition of terrorism which clearly includes this incident. Nine civilians died in the attack, even if they were not the direct targets of the weapon they were still the victims of it, therefore this was a terrorist attack and should be labelled as such.--Jackyd101 22:50, 26 January 2007 (UTC)
- That is incorrect and contrary to wiki guidelines on the use of the term.--Vintagekits 00:26, 27 January 2007 (UTC)
