One of the deadliest incidents of #TheTroubles was on #ThisDayInHistory in 1998. The #OmaghBombing was carried out by #RealIRA, a splinter from the #Provos that opposed the #GoodFriday deal. 29 people were killed and about 220 wounded since the car bomb's location was not shared.

I don't see a "civil war" in the sense that people in the US see it.

No battles, but everyplace a battlefield.
