Don't get me wrong - I'm not advocating attacking *anyone*.

What about the bombing of Airy Neave in 1979 as he was leaving the Palace of Westminster in his car. Given that he had both his legs blown off and died from his injuries it was hardly a thwarted attack.

Neave wasn't killed by the IRA, but close (though some think it was the CIA and M16).

How about the mortar bombing of 10 Downing Street, or the Brighton Hotel bombing (surely the closest thing to Guy Fawkes)?

(shudders) I remember hearing the Brighton one go off, it was audible right across the town. Standing there the next day and looking at the state of the building, and thinking how many lives had been wrecked in that instant was very sobering.

Jiverly Wong felt tormented by police. They snuck into his room and touched him while he was sleeping, he thought. They stole $20 from his wallet. Because of them, he lost his job. Because of them, he was poor and his life was a mess.

I'm feeling the urge to collect data about Asian mass murderers. :)
