The victim who lost her life was Dorothy Household. At the time the Tower was busy with tourists. A dozen of the injuries were children.[2] A scaffolding company working on the tower at the time were able to act immediately to form the evacuation, ensuring the wounded were taken out of the building to safety and could gain urgent medical attention. The bomb was placed along a wooden carriage of an 18th-century bronze cannon inside the Mortar Room. The gun carriage was destroyed.[3] Nobody ever claimed responsibility for the attack, but it was widely believed the Provisional Irish Republican Army (IRA) was behind it. A month before the bomb, the IRA bombed the Houses of Parliament.[4][5] See also
