Mervyn Stronge helps his brother, Herbert, to clear up some of the damage outside his home, which is beside Mr. Norman Johnston’s grocery and light hardware shop which was blown up on Monday night.
A bomb in Tullyhommon, the northern part of the village of Pettigo, on the Fermanagh-Donegal border, wrecked Mr. Johnston’s shop, and stock worth several thousand pounds was destroyed.
Roofs and windows of many of the adjoining houses and churches were shattered.
Mr. Herbert Stronge, aged 69, received a slight cut to his head which required medical attention, and a number of other residents suffered from shock.
