According to a report in a Cath-

times by Protestant extremists for
refusing to employ people they
nominated in a chain of betting
shops he ran here.
McMahon had built up a book-
making empire across the British
province after starting work as a
bartender at the age of 15. He was
a well-known member of the busi-
ness community here.
He died when he went to the
front door of his luxury home in
the Jordanstown suburb to answer
a ring at the bell. The bomb was
thrown into the hallway, killing
him instantly.
Only an hour later, a hotel he
had recently bought in the resort
district of Whitehead was de-
stroyed when the bombers struck
again. Although they gave a five-
minute warning of the second
blast, the hotel manager was ser-
iously injured in the explosion.
In the suburb of Glengormley,
another bomb destroyed dressing
rooms at a Gaelic football ground
during the night.
