100yrs ago an unwilling 'anarchist' suicide bomber blew himself up at the Greenwich observatory. Some say this is the first 'International Terrorist Suicide bombing' in London.

This year sees the 100th anniversary of Joseph Conrad's 'The Secret Agent' which fictionalised the events. Conrad was the first novellist to seriously address the topic of terrorism in Britain and more importantly for readers of this list - false flag terrorism. A secret agent, ordered by his employer who wants more repressive laws to result from an outrage, takes advantage of a simpleton who unwillingly becomes a suicide bomber.

Alfred Hitchcock also made a film of the book -Sabotage (1936) - where the unwilling suicide bomber blew himself up on a London bus.
