On 20 April 1984, a bomb exploded in the baggage area of Terminal 2 at Heathrow Airport. The bomb exploded at 7:55 pm, as 60 people were inside the baggage area. The blast injured 22, one seriously.[1] The Angry Brigade, an anarchist group, claimed responsibility for the bombing.[2][3] British officials dismissed the claim, and instead pointed their fingers at "Libyan-related Arab groups".[4] coming just three days after the murder of Yvonne Fletcher.
