Scene at the British Army's headquarters at Thiepval Barracks, Lisburn following the detonation of two car bombs by the Irish Republican Army on 7 October 1996. Casualties are evacuated using mattresses as stretchers while one of the cars blazes in the background. The bombs were detonated without warning in a secure area of the base.
