You may think so, but both the Garda and the PSNI disagree. They both have named one of the alphabet soup of dissident groups as the prime suspects. Second, the device was not really that sophisticated.

But aside from all that, the motivations are all wrong. If the army council truly are the puppet masters behind Sinn Fein why would they mount an operation now when Sinn Fein is on the cusp of their best electoral showing in over 100 years in the south? FG and FF are desperately trying to play up Sinn Feins history with the IRA. It would make no sense whatsoever for the provos to reassert themselves now.
