Terrorism
During the Troubles, the Provisional IRA carried out the 1996 Manchester Bombing using a lorry bomb, the largest bomb detonated in Great Britain since the Second World War.[3] The attack left 212 injured, but caused no fatalities, and resulted in about £700 million worth of damage.[4] Manchester had earlier been bombed by the IRA in a 1992 attack, also resulting in no fatalities.[5]
In 2017, an Islamist extremist suicide bomber detonated a shrapnel-laden bomb, targeting people leaving Manchester Arena following an Ariana Grande concert. Twenty-three people were killed, including the bomber, and 239 were physically injured,[6] in the deadliest terrorist attack in the United Kingdom since the 7 July 2005 London bombings.[7]
