London’s weekly Observer newspaper published a photograph of a man it called a prime suspect in the Dec. 17, 1983, car-bombing of London’s Harrods department store, which the Irish Republican Army said was carried out by its members. The Observer said the picture, showing the unidentified man at a Northampton railway station with two convicted IRA guerrillas, was taken by police on Jan. 17, 1984. Hours later, the three men, “together with a fourth, who is also a Harrods suspect and still at large, escaped after a high-speed car chase,” the paper said. Six people were killed in the bombing.
