A bomb exploded today in the most historic part of the Houses of Parliament, damaging Westminster Hall, the 900-year-old chamber that has seen much of British history. Eleven people were injured, none seriously.
The police said that the boming was the work of the Irish Republican Army. A man with an Irish accent telephoned the Press Association, the local news agency, giving six minutes warning of the expolsion and using a code word of the Irish Republican Army to identify a genuine alert.
