On 9 June 1990, the Provisional IRA detonated a time bomb inside the Armoury House hall of the Honourable Artillery Company's (HAC) military barracks in London, England.[1] Nineteen people, all young civilians and mostly students, were wounded in the blast. All of them suffered minor injuries.[2] At the time the hall was hired for a 21st birthday party of a Cambridge law student,[3] on most other Saturdays the bar is full of Territorial Army (TA) reserve soldiers.[2] The bomb was left on a short timer of only an hour before its explosion shortly before midnight, and no warning was given, but fatalities were avoided because of the hall's roof structure.[4]
