Text transcribed from caption: PC-45695 BOMB DAMAGES WESTMINSTER HALL LONDON -- Flames and smoke pour from Westminster Hall, the most historic part of the Houses of Parliament in London, after a bomb blast set off a fire which damaged the 900-year-old chamber. Police said that the bombing was the work of the Provisional wing of the Irish Republican Army. A man with an Irish accent telephoned a local news agency, giving six minutes warning of the explosion and using a code word of the IRA to identify a genuine alert. For several hours after the early morning blast, smoke shrouded Big Ben (left) as firemen fought the fire fed by an ignited gas main. Credit Must Read: RELIGIOUS NEWS SERVICE PHOTO (B-LON-6C-74-DS)
