Five people, including a 16 year old girl - Linda Boyle - were killed in this shooting and bombing attack carried out on the Bayardo Bar on the corner of Aberdeen Street and Shankill Road by PIRA (Provisional Irish Republican Army). This was part of a tit-for-tat sectarian campaign in which innocent Protestant and Catholic civilians were murdered by the opposing paramilitary gangs. Aberdeen Street no longer exists. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bayardo_Bar_attack
