A 5 lb bomb on a Metropolitan line train exploded prematurely in the front carriage of the train, injuring seven passengers. The bomb detonated prior to reaching the City of London, where it was thought the intended target was Liverpool Street station at rush hour.[1][2] The suspect, Adrian Vincent Donnelly, a Provisional Irish Republican Army (IRA) terrorist, then shot Peter Chalk, a Post Office engineer, in the chest. He then shot and killed the train's driver Julius Stephen, who had attempted to catch him.[3] Donelly exited the station to the street and threatened people with his revolver before PC Raymond Kiff caught up with him. Shouting "You English bastards!", Donelly shot himself in the chest, but he survived and was apprehended by Kiff.[4][5] PerpetratorAdrian Donelly, 36, is originally from Castlefin in the Republic of Ireland but lived in London from 1971. He was part of an active service unit involved in planting 16 bombs. In 1977 at the Old Bailey he was sentenced to life imprisonment by Mr Justice Croom-Johnson with a minimum of 30 years.[6] He was released after 21 years in August 1998 as one of the earliest beneficiaries of the Good Friday Agreement's prisoner releasing scheme.[7] AftermathEleven days prior, an IRA bomb had exploded in a train at Cannon Street station. The day after the West Ham attack, a bomb in a train at Wood Green tube station exploded, injuring a man.[8] On 18 March a 9 lb bomb was discovered in a train at Neasden Depot. After these events, London Transport launched a security operation and assigned 1,000 plainclothed policemen on the London Underground system.[9] An appeal to raise money was launched for the killed West Indian driver of the train, Julius Stephen, who left behind a widow and a family. £17,000 had been raised by August 1976.[10] See also
