The IRA men behind the Manchester bomb: Unravelling a 30-year mystery

In today's episode of the Manchester Briefing from The Mill, we're joined by special guest Toby Harnden, author of Bandit Country. For the last three months, Toby and Mill staff writer Jack Dulhanty have been working to unravel the mystery behind the 1996 bombing of Manchester by the IRA. Last week, counter-terror police announced its investigation into the bomb was no longer active, despite no one being charged. Toby and Jack spoke to police sources on both sides of the Irish sea, consulted previously classified documents and travelled to the borderlands of Northern Ireland for a two-part investigation published over the weekend. On the podcast, they talk about their reporting and the trip they took to South Armagh.To read the two parts of their investigation, go to manchestermill.co.uk.
