On this day in History - 4th February 1974

A bomb kills 12 including soldiers and children, when the coach they were travelling in was blown up. The prime suspect for the bombing was the Provisional IRA. Judith Ward was sentenced to life imprisonment in November 1974 but freed by the Appeal Court in 1992, after it was ruled that government scientists had withheld information. The IRA has been on ceasefire since 1997.
