Northern Ireland Bombing-- By Diya Ghayal

Summary: 4 men, 2 in their twenties and 2 in 30-40's, were arrested for being involved in Saturday night's explosion. The attackers had hijacked a pizza delivery car, and placed many bombs and explosives in it, and parked the car outside of the city's center courthouse. Fortunately, none were injured in the explosion, but officers only had minutes to evacuate children, adults, elderly, and hundreds of hotel guests, after hearing about the bomb that could have detonated at any time.

Analysis: This article was posted about three hours ago, which means that the information is current and up to date. This article was written to inform us about other worldly violence and possible acts of terrorism that are occurring. It allows us to know of possible death, injuries, and casualties, and informs us of the people who committed such acts of hostility. One of the last acts involving a car bombing was in 2016, and this was when a prison officer was killed by an explosive hidden under his car, by the New IRA (Irish Republican Army). This article really opened my eyes to how even ordering a simple pizza to be delivered, could lead to such catastrophic things like above.
