Calls for fresh inquiry in to Deal Barracks bombing 30 years after the attack

There are calls for a fresh investigation into a bombing that killed eleven people at the Royal Marines School of Music in Deal.

The bomb destroyed a building in the barracks in September 1989.

A ceremony will be held this Sunday to remember the victims.

The blast flattened the 'Coffee Boat' rest area and destroyed a neighbouring accommodation block.

The then Commandant General of the Royal Marines Lieutenant General Sir Martin Garrod branded the bombers "the scum of the earth".

Local MP Charlie Elphicke has called on the Northern Ireland Secretary to launch a full inquiry.

The Secretary of State, Julian Smith, is currently setting up a Historical Investigations Unit to consider past crimes from 'The Troubles'.

The Provisional IRA claimed responsibility for the Deal bombing but no one has ever been convicted for their involvement.
