The other way around: Iraqi terrorists had bomb technology developed by the IRA.

The 'Real IRA', who were almost certainly behind these attacks, are more like criminals than terrorists. They run protection rackets, deal drugs and engage in organized crime. To be honest, political killings like this, from them, are pretty rare. Its more likely been done to assure themselves that they are really real freedom fighters and not criminals, more than for any real political reason.
