Bomb attack in Brighton 1984

The bomb attack in Brighton was a bomb attack at the Grand Hotel in the English seaside town of Brighton on 12 October 1984.

Patrick Magee, a member of the Provisional Irish Republican Army, placed a time bomb with the intention of Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher and members of her cabinet to bring life to. This stayed at the hotel for the annual Party Congress of the conservative party. While Thatcher narrowly escaped, there were five dead, including two senior members of the conservative party, and 31 people were injured.

Thatcher later said that if they had been in the bathroom when the bomb exploded, they would have suffered only cuts and bruises. [1]  Thatcher insisted that the Conference open at 9.30 am that day as scheduled would be. She stopped her speech at 2.30 p.m. in the afternoon, then she left for the hospital to visit the wounded.
