Printed in London and Manchester Wednesday July 21 1982 23p terror bombs kill eight soldiers Record jobless boosted by school leavers Routine ride that ended in horror By Keith Harper, Labour Editor Unemployment rose so sharply this month that it achieved the highest level since records began a total of 3,190,621 or one in eight of the working population. The increase of 129.381 over June caused the Prime Minister to concede that the figures were very disturbing indeed." The Government admitted yesterday that it was preparing for further rises in August and September which would take the total beyond 3.25 million before the figures started to fall in October. The indications are that the number of jobless will remain around three million for the next 12 months. July's increase, announced yesterday by the Department of Employment, means that the total amounts to 13.4 per cent HYDE two members of the Household Cavalry MUed ly a nail bomb left in a car. Seven borses killed or put down Two explosions bring carnage to London's parks By Paul Brown THE cavalrymen riding down South Carriage Road were being photographed by a group of tourists when the giant nail bomb was detonated by remote control.

Two painters hanging from a cradle overlooking the scene described what happened. Steve Morgan, aged 27, said "There was a tremendous bang and the paint cradle rocked. "The whole scene was shrouded in a big cloud of black smoke. As it lifted we could see a big pile of horses and bodies it seemed about eight feet high. "We had lowered ourselves to the ground by then and we could see horses galloping away with men hanging from the saddle badly wounded.

They were covered in blood." Tim O'Connor, aged 22, said: "A woman in a Rolls-Royce stopped to help two bleeding soldiers who were struggling in the direction of the barracks. She put them in the back of the car and drove them there. "One of the' cavalrymen came running over to me Leader comment, page 10; Economic Agenda, page 14 of the working population. No fewer than 76,343 of the total increase of 129,381 was made up of school leavers. This means that a record 303,848 school leavers, and 2,886,773 adults are looking for work.

According to the department, the highest total recorded before the last war was in January 1933 when it was Quarter mile parked laundry van outside Chelsea Barracks last October as a coach carrying Irish Guards was returning from the Tower of London. On alternate days, the Life Guards or the Blues and Royals leave the barracks along South Carriage Road for their 24-hour shift at. exactly the same time. The explosion was triggered about 200 yards down the road as the troop was directly abreast of the car, a blue Austin Morris. The force of the blast blew out windows in Knightsbridge 50 yards away and the car ended upside down, a mass of twisted metal on an adjoining vehicle.

The registration of the car was later given as LMD 657P. Police said anyone who knew Thatcher leads condemnation, more pictures and reports, page 3 Parliament, page 4 the car should come forward. They did not know if it had been stolen. Police also want people in The Berkeley Hotel, opposite the incident, or anyone' who parked a car in the area in the previous 24 hours to contact them. Of the 23 people injured in the Hyde Park explosion four were Army personnel two police, and 17 were civilians.

Three Army personnel and one policeman were severely injured. The injured policemen were named as PC Paul Ryan, aged 22, stationed at Hyde Park, and PC John Davies, 25, and engaged to be By David Pallister The Provisional IRA brought scenes of horror and' carnage back to the streets of London yesterday with two bombs that left two cavalrymen dead in Hyde Park, and killed six bandsmen from the Royal Green Jackets in Regents Park. At least 51 people, many of them civilians, were taken to hospital, with' serious injuries. The bombs exploded within two hours -of each other. The first, made with between 5 and 101b of commercial explosives and packed with four and six inch nails, went off at 10.43 am ripping through a.

troop of 16 soldiers from the Blues and Royals as they left the Knightsbridge Barracks of the Household Cavalry for the daily changing of the guard in Seven horses, badly gashed by the flying metal, were killed or had to be put down. The second bomb went off at 12.55. pm under the bandstand at Regents Park as the Green Jackets were entertaining about 120 spectators. In a pointed reference to British declarations in the Falklands war, the IRA in Dublin issued a statement claiming responsibility. It said: "Now it, is our turn to properly invoke article 51 of the UN statute and properly quote all Thatcher's, fine phrases on the right to self-determination of a people.

The Irish people. have sovereign arid national rights whichn'6-ta'sk or 'dccuptionaL force 2,979,000 but different registration practices made direct Hyde Park comparison difficult. The previous highest total was in Ja say Those responsible for these inhuman crimes do irreparable damage to the good name of Ireland and the cause of Irish unity." Mr James Prior, the Northern Ireland Secretary, who was in Washington trying to persuade American politicans to halt financial support for the IRA, said It underlines the great need which I have been stressing in the US for international condemnation of the vicious terrorism of the IRA." As news of the blasts spread, health worker pickets at the three hospitals which took the casualties suspended their action and returned to work. Several of the injured lost limbs. The return of an IRA" active service unit to London comes eight months after the last spate of attacks.

Again the targests were primarily military. After the Chelsea Barracks attack came the crippling of Sir Steuart Pringle, commandant-general of the Royal Marines, in a car bomb, and the death of Mr Kenneth Howorth, a bomb disposal expert, as he worked on a device in an Oxford Street Wimpy Bar. The campaign continued with an explosion outside the Wimbledon home of the Attorney-General, Sir Michael Havers, and the chance discovery of a bomb outside Woolwich Barracks which injured a woman passerby. Despite one of the most intensive operations by Scotland Yard's anti-terrorist squad, including a search of all lock-up garages in the greater.London area, no cache of explosives was 6 Irish police have discovered an IRA camp in County Donegal containing a workshop, one and a half tons of explosive, a box of detonators and rockets. Green Jackets had begun the first concert of their summer tour.

The bomb, apparently placed under the boards in the centre of the podium with a timing device exploded with such force that the body of one of the soldiers was thrown 50 yards. Another was sliced in two. Twenty-eight people were injured in the blast, 24 of them from the Army and four civilians. Thirteen soldiers were detained in hospital last night, two seriously hurt. Mr Gilbert Kelland, assistant commissioner for crime at Scotland Yard described the London bombings as a most heinous crime.

"Hyde Park is a place where people come from all over the world. The assassins had no regard for whoever might be caught and murdered by high explosives." Commander Bill Hucklesby, head of the anti-terrorist squad, warned that the nail bombers could strike again. All ports, airports and railway stations giving access to Ireland were being watched but he believed the bombers had gone to ground in London or surrounding counties. Mr Kelland said that two weeks ago MPs had been warned of the danger of a IRA bombing campaign. This had not been based on specific intelligence but was regarded as a general warning before the summer recess.

There had been no warnings of these attacks and people must be alert for the possibility of more bombs in London. Condemnation of the attacks came from both Mrs Thatcher and the Irish Prime Minister, Mr Charles Haug-hey. Commons, Mrs Thatcher "said These callous and cowardly crimes have been committed by evil and brutal men. who know nothing of democracy. We shall not rest until they are brought to justice." Mr Haughey broke off from the final hours of campaigning in Galway East byelection to nuary this year when it was 3,00,621.
