Soldier fined for bomb

A SOLDIER on leave, who rang Blackburn telephone exchange saying the IRA had planted a bomb in the building, was fined £25 by Clitheroe magistrates. Mark Anthony Tomlinson,


of Darkwood Crescent, Chatburn, admitted'sending a false telephone massage. Insp. Bill Moore said that


Tomlinson, on leave from the 25th field Rgt. RA, had met a few friends and they had gone to a house in Kirk- moor Road, Clitheroe, from which Tomlinson had made the call. Mr W. D. Greenwood


(defending) said Tomlinson had been “showing off” after completing his first five months’ training at Wool­ wich. Tomlinson’s career would


not, however, be affected. The army had high hopes for him in the future and after his appearance in court, he was going to Germany on his first posting.

Anne Rainford, of Clitheroe Road,. Sabden, said: “He’s sitting up in bed and feeling fine. The doctors say the operation really looks good.
