Louis Mountbatten, 1st Earl Mountbatten of Burma, a relative of the British royal family, was assassinated on 27 August 1979 by Thomas McMahon, an Irish republican and volunteer for the Provisional Irish Republican Army (IRA).
The assassination took place during The Troubles, a conflict between republicans and unionists in Northern Ireland following the Partition of Ireland.[1] The IRA claimed responsibility three days after the bombing, saying that the attack as "a discriminate act to bring to the attention of the English people the continuing occupation of our country".[2]
