Any news reports, is it confirmed?

I don't care which 'side' it is - whoever did it, whatever their cause - it's idiotic

If you google 'bomb derry' there is a live Twitter feed at the top of the page with updates.

The feed is saying it was Ulster Bank (which is by the hotel).

On twitter,it says its Ulster Bank hit

Sheeps

Oh great. Glad there's a legitimate news source behind this like the people on twitter...

BluesBerry

It was a controlled explosion

Sheeps

Don't you mean Londonderry OP?

Reports of a major bomb in Derry, outside Ulster Bank. Guess they weren't joking when they said they'd hit the bankers. ...

I'm not a huge twitter fan, but you'd think we were living in the days of carrier pigeons based on how slowly the Irish Times updates their website.

Well since Twitter is pretty accurate to the basic happenings,I wouldnt say its 100% but its accurate.

And at the end of the day its quicker and more reliable than the RTE website!

Oh wow, look at you trying to be cool. Hear what he said lads? He said he only cares about Ireland. Look at how cool he is, not caring about what happens in Derry. See what he's doing there, is saying "Oh it's only Northern Ireland" as if it has nothing at all to do with our history. That's really smart and clever, and very, very funny. I bet you're super popular and have loads of friends all because of how cool and funny you are.

I'm confused. I thought blowing up banks was the fantasy de jour?

I wonder is it the same group that liked robbing post-offices down here?

Son Of A Vidic

If this is a symbolic RIRA strike at banks to win support = pathetic.

Ok, I've been following things as much as poss. ( live in central Europe so not as in tune as normal) and the north seems like it's going to kick off again anytime soon. My own speculation that boredom will cause it, rather than a real belief in ' the cause'

Also , where do people expect to get support from, terrorism now is a huge no no. The yankee dollars won't be there this time.

Maybe I'm just reading too much into things though .....

The bomb exploded at the Ulster Bank across from the Da Vinci Hotel.

I'm on the other side of the river(maybe 2miles away), and that was really loud.

I've looked in the usual places, can't find anything either. News organisations usually wait for a police statement or reliable witness before reporting.
