LONDON – Police arrested a man Wednesday in Northern Ireland in connection with the 1974 bombings of two pubs that killed 21 people and injured more than 200 in Birmingham, England.

West Midlands Police said officers from the West Midlands counterterrorism unit, working with colleagues from the Police Service of Northern Ireland, arrested a 65-year-old man at his home in Belfast. The man was arrested under the U.K.'s Terrorism Act, and his home was being searched, it added.

The arrest came days before the 46th anniversary of the two Nov. 21, 1974 blasts that ripped apart the Mulberry Bush and Tavern in the Town pubs in the city of Birmingham.

I won’t pretend to be very educated on the subject, but like most modern conflicts civilians are easier targets that get the most bang for the buck so to speak.

Kill a handful of soldiers and people will be upset but harden the resolve to fight. Kill a bunch of civilians and people are more likely to give in to demand. Shame leadership of these groups sanctions killing of civilians.
