The IRA kiled civilians on purpose, pretending it was an 'accident', to bully the British government.

It didn't work.

After revolting the population of the world, and finding their backers in the US falling away when 9/11 showed them the reality of terrosm, the IRA are laying down their arms in surrender.

In response the British are removing their troops, as most British people wanted all along - but not at the price of being dictated to by nail bombers.

It's taken a long time but the IRA have finally learned that terrorism doesn't work against democratically elected governments.

Now we just have to sort out those arsehole Protestants - (sigh).
