Since the emergence of the terrorist bombing campaign in Northern Ireland in 1969, the dreadful atrocities committed by both nationalist and loyalist paramilitary groups against civilian and military targets in the province have regularly made news headlines throughout the UK, and on occasions, across the world. This insider's view of bomb disposal in Northern Ireland paints a chilling picture of the daily challenges facing the Army's bomb disposal team.
Colonel STEVE SMITH MBE is a serving Army officer and currently commands the bomb disposal school for all three Services. Prior to his present appointment he controlled the UK's counter-terrorist bomb disposal response worldwide for three years. In the early 1980s he was a bomb disposal operator in Belfast. Steve Smith was awarded the MBE in 1993 for his work in Northern Ireland.
