My original link to this compelling story has long been dead, and i was not wise enough to copy it. The original story, i have listed the authors' names, was in reference to Manchester Police strange handling of an IRA bomb threat-if anyone can find this story online please let me know-R
P.S. There are quite a few other examples of questionable handling of IRA bomb threats by RUC as well, along with misrepresented media coverage of them.
