Description

Armed Forces Minister Archie Hamilton talks to John Alcock about the threat from the IRA to army barracks despite the increase in security since the Mill Hill explosion and how the security measures averted casualties as a bomb exploded at Tern Hill barracks in Shropshire. He refuses to speculate if this is the start of an IRA bombing campaign.
