[edit] Coventry Bombing
I think it should be noted that James McDade managed to blow himself up by accident whilst bombing the Post Office in Coventry city centre. Possibly by coincidence, it happens to be 34 years after the WWII bombing of Coventry.
Also, the 'Birmingham Six' were also arrested on their way to his funeral. 86.148.84.79 01:11, 29 January 2007 (UTC)
