An anarchist group have claimed
responsibility for firebombing a Barclays bank in Brislington on
Wednesday, just days after another group claimed responsibility forstarting a fire at a police firearms centre in Portishead.
Writing on Bristol Indymedia, the
Informal Anarchist Federation said that it was the first time that
they had used bombs as weapons and that they were more than capable
of using them again.
The bank on Emery Road was targeted
“for its lack of adjacent buildings, and to avoid the extremely
low chance of passers-by in the area we positioned the device
against the back of the building against a window, instead of
multiple devices on opposite sides as is commonly recommended”.
After a rambling treatise against the
banking system, the group, who also call themselves the Improvised
Guerrilla (sic) Formation, ends with a warning: “We think though
that at another time to someone else, smashing a single window could
have the same significance (if the act doesn’t look for dialogue
with the system or recognition from it).
“Most significant is the heightened
possibility and pleasure unlocked by direct action instead of
waiting and compromise.”
