Peter "Skeet" Hamilton the bomber?[edit]

Does anyone have a reliable source that states Peter "Skeet" Hamilton was the man who planted the bomb inside the Bayardo? I have seen this stated as fact on a blog which naturally cannot be used as a reference.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 18:33, 14 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
