The 1993 Camden Town bombing occurred on 27 February 1993, when a bomb exploded in
Camden Lock Market. Police unknowingly moved people towards the bomb's path in the south end 400 yards away.[2] Scotland Yard chief Bernard Luckhurst said the misleading warnings of the bomb were "clearly designed" to kill or injure as many as it could.[3]
Earlier the IRA sent a warning about a bomb in
Warrington bomb attacks.[4]
