Police in Ireland have issued an appeal for information about a 1972 triple-bombing which killed two teenagers and left two men seriously injured.
Two children, Patrick Stanley, 16 and Geraldine O'Reilly, 15, were killed and eight other people injured when a bomb exploded in a red Ford Escort in Belturbet in County Cavan at around 10.30pm on 28 December, 1972.
Around half an hour earlier, two men were seriously injured by an explosive device contained in a blue Morris 1100 in Fermanagh Street, Clones in County Monaghan.
The third device was detonated at 10.50pm outside Britton's bar in Mullnagoad, near Pettigo in County Donegal, injuring one woman.
Gardaí have released photofits of a man or men they believe were involved in a bomb attack in Cavan almost 50 years ago
