The1993 Camden Town bombing occurred on 27 February 1993, when a bomb exploded inCamden High Street, injuring 18 people. TheProvisional IRA was responsible, planting the explosive in a litter bin and targeting people on the busiest day of the week, Saturday, after midday. One of the injured was Swedish tourist Jennie Erikson, 22.^[1] The IRA gave a coded telephone warning that a bomb was planted at aKentucky Fried Chicken fast food store in the north end of High Street, nearCamden Lock Market. Police unknowingly moved people towards the bomb's path in the south end 400 yards away.^[2]Scotland Yard chief Bernard Luckhurst said the misleading warnings of the bomb were "clearly designed" to kill or injure as many as it could.^[3]

Earlier the IRA sent a warning about a bomb inOxford Street, which also had to be evacuated by police. The attack occurred a day after theWarrington bomb attacks.^[4]
