the IRA would not let off wind at this event let alone a bomb.
the Towelheads on the Otherhand associated with al-zawiri would see this as the ultimate of massacres to their cause,they work from the inside now don,t they,i mean brainwashed white british muslims.

What a bunch of fabricated and foul smelling rubbish. The same level of security will be in place regardless if the island of Ireland and all her people didn't exist. This is the sort of biased, one sided, no proof offered reporting one would expect elsewhere. While linking the IRA and Islamic treats makes for exciting sensationalist tabloid reading, it stinks to high heaven to any objective reader.

This article is nonsense. This same level of security has already been in place at all previous Olympic games of recent memory, and it would have been in place in London regardless of any alleged IRA threats. It is very disappointing to see an Irish media outlet putting such a negative spin on the Irish. I don't get it.

The stickies let the London brigade become fallow ground. Your article is just British Propaganda. Why not do a little investigative journalism on the presence of the thugs (SAS) wearing sand colored berets, still in Ireland, despite the Good Friday agreement?

One wonders whether the IRA has a London brigade anymore? Once a crack outfit led by the immortal Reggie Dunne, the "Stickies" probably have let this become fallow ground...

Your headline reads like it was written by MI5 - which is just what they wanted. How disappointing. Once again, the Brits blame the IRA/Irish for all evil, real or imagined, and once again, Irish people (you, the Irish Central) act as stoogies to convey the message broadly.
Wake up! That reasoning is a bunch of crap - London is ground zero for every terrorist outfit in the world - the IRA is the least of their worries.
