On 12 October 1992, the Provisional IRA exploded a bomb planted in the gents' toilets at the Sussex Arms pub in Upper Street near Long Acre, London, killing one person and injuring seven.[1][2] A telephone call to a radio station was made nine minutes before it exploded at 1:30 pm saying a bomb was placed "in the Leicester Square area." The fatal victim, 30-year-old nurse David Heffer, died from injuries in hospital.[3] It was the eighth IRA explosion in London in the last six days.[4]
