Prison officer injured in New IRA car bomb attack in Belfast dies

A prison officer blown up in a New IRA car bomb attack has died. Adrian Ismay, a 52-year-old who trained staff at the top-security Maghaberry prison, had undergone surgery after being injured in the blast underneath his van in east Belfast on 4 March.

The Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) originally said the victim had not suffered life-threatening injuries in the explosion in the Woodstock area of the city. But the officer was rushed into hospital on Tuesday after a suffering a heart attack and later died.

The New IRA claimed responsibility for the bombing and linked it to an ongoing dispute between the prison authorities at Maghaberry and dissident republican inmates.

Ismay is the second prison officer to die at the hands of republican dissidents over the last four years. In November 2012, the New IRA ambushed David Black along the M1 motorway near Portadown as he was driving to work at Maghaberry prison. The 52-year-old’s car was riddled with bullets during the shooting. 

The east Belfast attack demonstrates that republican dissident terror groups have an intelligence-gathering capacity that allows them to garner information on targets who live in predominantly loyalist and Protestant areas of Northern Ireland.

The terror group said the officer was among a number of people on a so-called hit list drawn up by dissident republicans. The New IRA said it had used semtex explosive in the booby trap device, which has prompted unionists to question if all the previous arsenal of the Provisional IRA had been decommissioned as Sinn Féin had promised back in 2006-07.

Following the attack, senior officers of the PSNI revealed that the force had thwarted at least four other terror attacks across Northern Ireland and warned of a spike in dissident republican violence in the run-up to the 100th anniversary of the Easter Rising against British rule.

The New IRA is the largest of the three main terror groups opposed to the peace process. Its formation was announced through a communique to the Guardian in 2012.

Andy Allen, the Ulster Unionist MLA for East Belfast, condemned those behind the killing of the prison officer.

Allen said: “This is devastating news and my heartfelt sympathies are with the prison officer’s family. We must ensure that all necessary support and assistance is given to the family at this difficult time. The people responsible for this despicable attack must be brought to justice.

“I would again reiterate that the people responsible do not represent wider society. They cannot and will not be allowed to take this society back to the past.”

Wikipedia: The Irish Republican Army (IRA) is any of several armed movements in Ireland in the 20th and 21st centuries dedicated to Irish republicanism, the belief that all of Ireland should be an independent republic. It was also characterised by the belief that political violence was necessary to achieve that goal.

The first known use of the term "Irish Republican Army" occurred in the Fenian raids on Canada in the 1860s. The original Irish Republican Army formed by 1917 from those Irish Volunteers who refused to enlist in the British Army during World War I. It was the army of the Irish Republic, declared by Dáil Éireann in 1919. Some Irish people dispute the claims of more recently created organisations that insist that they are the only legitimate descendants of the original IRA, often referred to as the "Old IRA". The playwright and former IRA member Brendan Behan once said that the first issue on any IRA agenda was "the split". For the IRA, that has often been the case. The first split came after the Anglo-Irish Treaty in 1921, with supporters of the Treaty forming the nucleus of the National Army of the newly created Irish Free State, while the anti-treaty forces continued to use the name Irish Republican Army. After the end of the Irish Civil War, the IRA was around in one form or another for forty years, when it split into the Official IRA and the Provisional IRA in 1969. The latter then had its own breakaways, namely the Real IRA and the Continuity IRA, each claiming to be the true successor of the Army of the Irish Republic...

...In April 2011, former members of the Provisional IRA announced a resumption of hostilities, and that "they had now taken on the mantle of the mainstream IRA." They further claimed "We continue to do so under the name of the Irish Republican Army. We are the IRA." and insisted that they "were entirely separate from the Real IRA, Oglaigh na hEireann (ONH), and the Continuity IRA." They claimed responsibility for the April killing of PSNI constable Ronan Kerr as well as responsibility for other attacks that had previously been claimed by the Real IRA and ONH.

Wikipedia: Randall Jarrell (May 6, 1914 – October 14, 1965) was an American poet, literary critic, children's author, essayist, novelist, and the 11th Consultant in Poetry to the Library of Congress, a position that now bears the title Poet Laureate...

http://www.poetryfoundation.org: ...Best known as a literary critic but also respected as a poet, Randall Jarrell was noted for his acerbic, witty, and erudite criticism. In a volume of essays about Jarrell titled Randall Jarrell, 1914-1965, nearly all of the writers praised his critical faculties. They also noted, commented Stephen Spender in the New York Review of Books, "a cruel streak in Jarrell when he attacked poets he didn't like." John Berryman wrote that "Jarrell's reviews did go beyond the limit; they were unbelievably cruel, that's true.... He hated bad poetry with such vehemence and so vigorously that it didn't occur to him that in the course of taking apart – where he'd take a book of poems and squeeze, like that, twist – that in the course of doing that, there was a human being also being squeezed."...
