In the middle of the strike, on October 12 1984, the Provisional IRA (a leftist terror group supported by Libya and many Irish-Americans) detonated a bomb during the Conservative Party conference in Brighton. Thatcher escaped injury but five people died in the attack and Margaret Tebbit was left paralyzed; the conference went on as normal. Thatcher delivered a speech less than four hours after the explosion.
