2001 BBC bombing At 12 : 30 am ( 0030 GMT ) on Sunday 4 March 2001 , the Real IRA detonated a car bomb outside the BBC ' s main news centre within BBC Television Centre , on Wood Lane in the White City area of West London . Between ten and twenty pounds of high explosive had been placed in a red taxi that had been purchased on the morning of 3 March in Edmonton , north London , and abandoned yards from the main front door of BBC Television Centre at 11 pm . Police officers were attempting to carry out a controlled explosion on the bomb with a bomb - disposal robot when it went off . Staff had already been evacuated after police received a coded warning that had been given to a London hospital and charity one hour before the explosion . There were no fatalities , though one London Underground worker suffered cuts to his eye caused by glass debris . As the explosion happened just after midnight , some reports of the incident say that it happened on 3 March rather than 4 March . BBC cameras caught the moment of the explosion and the resulting damage – which included numerous smashed windows in the front entrance – was seen as day broke . The bomb was part of a Real IRA bombing campaign which would also include the Ealing bombing of 3 August 2001 and an attempted bombing in Birmingham city centre on 3 November 2001 . Later in November , three men – Noel Maguire , Robert Hulme , and his brother Aiden Hulme – were arrested in connection with all three bomb attacks . They were convicted at the Old Bailey on 8 April 2003 , together with two other men – James McCormack , of County Louth , and John Hannan , of Newtownbutler , County Fermanagh , both of whom had already admitted the charge at an earlier hearing . The Hulme brothers were both jailed for 20 years ; Maguire , who the judge said played " a major part in the bombing conspiracy " , was sentenced to 22 years ; McCormack , who the judge said had played the most serious part of the five , also received 22 years ; and Hannan , who was 17 at the time of the incidents , was given 16 years ' detention .

Tony Frangieh Antoine Frangieh ( 1 September 1941 – 13 June 1978 , better known by his diminutive , Tony , طوني فرنجية ) was a Lebanese politician and militia leader during the early years of the Lebanese Civil War . Education and early political career . Frangieh was educated at the College Des Frères Tripoli , first in Tripoli then in Beirut , at the latter from 1958 to 1960 . He was furthering his study before his death . Frangieh began his career dealing with his family business . On 25 October 1970 , he succeeded his father , Suleiman Frangieh , as a member of the Lebanese Parliament for Zgharta , following his father ' s election to the Presidency . He was also appointed the Minister of Posts and Telecommunications in his father ' s government . Civil war . At the end of the 1960s , when factions within Lebanon started to form militias , the Frangieh clan formed the Marada Brigade , also known as the Zghorta Liberation Army , under the command of Tony Frangieh . The Marada mainly operated out of Tripoli and northern Lebanon , the base of the Frangieh family . The Lebanese Civil War witnessed many shifting alliances where the allies of today became the enemies of tomorrow . One such falling out occurred between two of the leading Maronite clans , the Frangiehs and the Gemayels . The Frangiehs , who were close to Syria , were critical of Phalangist Kataeb Regulatory Forces ' militia leader Bachir Gemayel ' s growing alliance with Israel . Militiamen from the Phalange RF and Marada also clashed over protection rackets . This conflict led to the murder of Tony Frangieh , his wife , Vera ( née el Kordahi ) , and his three - year old daughter Jihane by Phalangist militiamen , known as the Ehden massacre . His son , Suleiman II , was in Beirut during the murder . Under cover of darkness on 13 June 1978 , a combined force of 1 , 200 Phalangists led by Samir Geagea and Gemayel , attacked and killed Tony Frangieh and his immediate family , thereby eliminating one of the protagonists vying for political power in the Christian Lebanese community . Suleiman Frangieh never vowed revenge . As he stated in a documentary on a Lebanese political channel called ' OTV ' , " That was the past and it must be forgotten , I do not seek revenge because God is the only judge , thus their conscience will haunt them for the rest of their lives . " Many commentators consider the murder of Tony Frangieh to be one of the factors in the longevity of the Lebanese Civil War and as the starting point of a deep divide between Lebanese Christians . Some 20 , 000 mourners attended his funeral , including then Lebanese Prime Minister Salim Hoss on 14 June 1978 . Personal life . Frangieh had two children , Suleiman Frangieh , Jr . and Jihane , with Vera Frangieh , whom he married in 1962 .

Sarraounia Sarraounia Mangou was a Queen of the " Azna " , a subgroup of the Hausa , who ruled in a region of Western Africa during the late 19th century . Biography . She was ruler of an animist group of Eastern Hausa . Sarraounia of the Azna s fought the French colonial troops at the Battle of Lougou in 1899 . While some kingdoms readily collaborated with the French in the hope of finally subduing her and her kingdom , and others capitulated without a fight , she mobilized her people and resources to confront the French forces of the Voulet – Chanoine Mission , which launched a fierce attack on her fortress capital of Lougou . Overwhelmed by the superior firepower of the French , she and her fighters retreated tactically from the fortress , and engaged the attackers in a protracted guerrilla battle which eventually forced the French to abandon their project of subduing her . Sarraounia means " Queen " or " chiefess " , and among the Azna people of Lougou and surrounding Hausa towns and villages , the term refers to a lineage of female rulers who exercised both political and religious power . The 1986 film " Sarraounia " is a retelling of her struggle against Voulet and Chanoine ' s troops .
Fort Burt Fort Burt is a colonial fort that was erected on the southwest edge of Road Town , Tortola in the British Virgin Islands above Road Reef Marina . The site is now a hotel and restaurant of the same name , and relatively little of the original structure remains . However , one of the original cannons has survived and stands on the veranda of the hotel , vigilantly looking over the harbour . The original structure is believed by some to have been built at an unascertained date by the original Dutch settlers of the islands , although this is not certain as Spanish documents from this time refer to other forts on Tortola ( which they attacked ) and they make no mention of a defensive fortification at Fort Burt although the route of their attack ( from Soper ' s hole , through Fort Purcell and on to Fort George would have taken them directly by the site of Fort Burt . In his book , Vernon Pickering suggests that the British erected the Fort on a site that they " erroneously believed " to have been the site of an earlier Dutch fort . However , the main fortification was built ( or rebuilt ) by the British in 1776 at the outbreak of the American war of independence . The fort was named after William Mathew Burt , Governor of the Leeward Islands from 1776 to 1781 ( but not to be confused with Colonel William Burt , his great grandfather , who took the Territory for the British from the Dutch with a token force at the outbreak of the Third Anglo - Dutch War in 1672 ) . Descendants of this family now live in Western Australia . Fort Burt formed part of a formidable defensive network of forts around Road Town at this time , including Fort Road Town ( under what is now the site of the Boungainvillea clinic ) , Fort George on Fort Hill on the north east side of the harbour , and Fort Charlotte set high above on Harrigan ' s Hill . Fort Burt never actually fired a shot in anger under British command . The combination of the formidable martial defences of Road Town , and relatively small strategic and economic importance of Tortola persuaded both foreign colonial powers and privateer s and pirates alike to focus on other targets within the region . The fort later fell again into disrepair , and it was acquired in 1953 by Commander Christopher Hammersley and his socialite wife , who built what was then the only hotel on Tortola . The hotel has changed hands several times since , and is now in the ownership of the Pusser ' s chain .
