The IPLO killed a number of the INLA's top men.[2] On 14 April 1992 an INLA active service unit killed a British soldier, Michael Newman, outside a recruiting office in Derby, England.[3] This was the first person the INLA killed in England since the 1979 Assassination of Airey Neave when he was killed in a car bomb.[4] BombingsAn INLA active service unit planted nine Incendiary devices around Leeds city. They were planted on the 17 June and timed to go off in the early hours of the morning on the 18 June. However, only four of the devices managed to explode. The four devices that did go off still managed to cause over £50,000 worth of damage. The fire-bomb that did the most damage was the one at the Stop And Shop store which was gutted by explosives packed inside an audio cassette case. Two of the devics were found at a Marks and Spencers store & a Waterstones Bookshops, both of these devices were defused by bomb disposal experts from the security forces.[5] Two INLA Volunteers were soon caught after the bombings. The two INLA Volunteers Eamonn O'Donnell (39) and Sean Cruickshank (23) were sentenced to a total of 35 years, O'Donnell got 20 years and Cruishank 15 years.[6] Bot were let out early under the Good Friday Agreement See also
