BELFAST, Northern Ireland — A car bomb exploded today in east Belfast, killing a cabbie who was driving his daughter to school, police said. The outlawed Irish Republican Army claimed responsibility.
The 16-year-old girl was wounded in the attack, the Royal Ulster Constabulary said.
Harry Dickey, 37, and his daughter became the first victims of 1990 of Northern Ireland’s 20-year-old political and sectarian violence. They were heading to the daughter’s school when the bomb exploded and the car crashed into a lamp post, a police spokesman said.
