They did, went off premature, killing one IRA man. It was not a random building they targeted you know. There was a Loyalist Meeting going on upstairs an hour earlier. They buggered the time up too.
Oh, I know all that, but on the other hand there's no guarantee that when you're playing with explosives that things would work out quite as you had planned. Had they got it 'right' there's a chance a lot of people would not have died, but there's not a guarantee of it, was basically my point.
