The World : Bomb on Train Wounds 9

A bomb rigged to a bicycle exploded on a Dublin-Belfast train shortly after the train reached Belfast’s central station, wounding seven police officers and two other people, police said. The outlawed Irish National Liberation Army, an extremist offshoot of the Irish Republican Army, telephoned newsmen to say it had planted “bombs on a train heading towards Newry from the south.” The train was stopped at that border town, and a search turned up a hoax device. A second call said the real bomb was concealed on a bicycle. The train was evacuated on arrival in Belfast, but the bomb went off as officers boarded to search for the device.
