This possibility was discussed on NPR Morning Edition. The reasons that they said it wasn't the IRA were that:
* the IRA hasn't done a bomb attack in about 10 years
* the IRA attacks were always preceded by a coded message to authorities shortly before the attacks.
* the IRA attacks were generally held in the Financial district late Friday nights or early Saturday mornings, times when the civilian casualties would be slim to none.
(all from my memory, could be inaccurate)
