The Bessbrook bombing took place on the 17 April 1979 when four Royal Ulster Constabulary (RUC) officers were killed when the Provisional IRA exploded an estimated 1,000 pound roadside van bomb at Bessbrook, County Armagh, believed to be the largest bomb used by the IRA up to that point.
The Bessbrook bombing saw four dead men after the IRA used a van bomb.
The IRA's bomb killed four RUC officers, however the context does not specify that they were men. They COULD have been women. Since we do not know the gender of the dead from the context, it is neither correct or incorrect. The system may have made the same assumptions that many would make in this context.
