It has been suggested that the bombings were intended to wreck the Sunningdale Agreement and to make both the Irish and British governments take a stronger line against the IRA.

The British government actively obstructed an investigation by Mr Justice Henry Barron, an Irish judge, into the bombings in 2003. 2/2
