Docklands bombing in 1996

That this House remembers the London Docklands bombing, where a 3,000lb device that included Libyan-supplied explosives detonated in a vehicle parked outside the Bashir family business on 9 February 1996 as the IRA ended an 18-month ceasefire; notes with sadness the death of Inam Bashir, who was killed in the newsagents along with colleague John Jeffries; highlights that the force of the bomb left 42 people badly injured; underlines the horrific damage caused by the blast and notes the subsequent conviction of IRA member James McArdle in 1998; sends deepest condolences and sympathies to all those who still bear the scars and memories of that day; and notes that the legacy of those who were killed will never be forgotten.
