From Times Staff and Wire Reports
The Irish Republican Army stepped up a holiday bombing blitz in London with two blasts that injured eight people. The bombs damaged two stores in a shopping center in the northern part of the city. Four of the injured were police officers who responded to a warning call. The worst bombing campaign since the 1970s has prompted police to set up random roadblocks around the country. An IRA spokesman called the inconvenience caused by the roadblocks a propaganda coup for his cause.
