Was the IRA known for suicide bombings?
Firstly I don't see any difference between a suicide bombing and having one dropped out of a plane, they are just two different methods of delivering an explosive device.

Secondly, whether a warning is issued or not (and many times, none was issued) people were murdered. Are you trying to say that Irish Terrorism is ok? No, I know you wouldn't get away with doing that. Perhaps you are saying that Islamic Terrorism is worse?

15 August 1998: Dissident republicans using the name "Real IRA" detonate a 500lb bomb in the centre of Omagh on a busy Saturday afternoon. The bomb kills 28 people outright and injures 200 - the worst single atrocity of the Troubles. A 29th victim dies later.
