AAAA. 121922Z FEB 2009 The Greenwich bomb attack of 1894 became famous due to Joseph Conrad`s book `The Secret Agent` 1907....Getting back to the detailed account some of which was mentioned in the other video`s but not all....Severn pieces of iron had been found in Martial Bourdin`s body, while his skin was covered with hundreds of black spots caused by tiny splashes of Sulphuric acid contained in the bomb...His left hand was completly missing and he had a gaping hole in his stomach and his guts were spilling out...The two shocked Observatory staff Messrs Hollis and Thackeray searched the area between where the man was found, and the Observatory wall and recovered numerous fragments of the mans hand, including a 2 inch piece of bone. A trail of blood and fragments were spread over a distance of nearly 60 yards towards the Observatory wall. As the two men went home that day the identity of the man was unknown....Police investigators soon learned that his name was Martial Bourdin....What happened earlier no one knows. But it appears to that due to some mischance or miscalculation or some clumsy bungling the bomb exploded in his hand....to be continued.......AR.
