Description
In 2000, a breakaway terrorist group called The Real IRA launched one of the most daring attacks on British soil, firing a Russian anti-tank rocket at the headquarters of MI6, the British Secret Intelligence Service of James Bond fame. In this video, I revisit the site and the firing point 25 years later.
