Provisional IRA, 1990s, firing on a British Observation Post at Beechmount. No reported injuries, most likely done as a harassing fire tactic

Correction, they fired from beech mount at the British post. The same day a number of shootings took place however no reported deaths. Also, it took place in 1990.
Imagine being killed by a bloke wearing a bobble hat like that.
Just missing a few ‘allahhhh akbars’ and be right at home with the jihadi videos
Tell these clowns learned to shoot in Africa.
Some of them were very effective. The SAS had a certain amount of for some elements of the South Armagh Brigade.
Its really weird watching this footage. The Troubles were alway in the near background of my childhood and yound adulthood. I heard bombs go off, my relatives in NI were intimidated off their farm by paramilitaries and I knew someone from school whose father was murdered. It was always on the TV – massacres, bombings, shootings, kneecappings, robberies, hunger strikes and the maze etc, etc.
Looking back its insane that this was going on in the UK in the late 20th Century.
Dude in the blue is gonna have some hearing damage.
