Inam Bashir

Categories: Tragedy

One of two killed by the Docklands IRA bomb. They were both workers in the newsagent’s directly opposite the bomb.

Our colleague Andrew Behan has researched this man and found the photo: there is some confusion over his name but the England & Wales, Civil Registration Death Index held at General Register Office (GRO) in London, gives his full name was Inam Ul-haq Bashir. He was born on 22 November 1966.  He was killed working in his newsagent shop as a result of an IRA terrorist explosion at Canary Wharf, aged 29 years, on 9 February 1996.
