Trattoria Fiore bombing


On 29 October 1975 the Provisional IRA planted and detonated a bomb at the Trattoria Fiore Italian restaurant on Mount Street in Mayfair in the West End of London. Eighteen were injured, eight seriously. One woman lost her foot, another American tourist had her scalp ripped off. The time bomb was planted by the IRA near the restaurant's windows. The IRA would bomb other restaurants and bars in November, including Scott's Oyster Bar on the same street, killing three people in total and injuring 38.
