Report: NIreland’s Bloody Sunday killings unjust (AP)

June 15th, 2010

** CORRECTS TO GRAND NIECE ** Megan Bradley, three, grand niece of Jim Wray, gathers with other relatives of those shot dead on Bloody Sunday in Londonderry, Northern Ireland Tuesday June 15, 2010 ahead of Tuesday's release of the long-awaited Saville report. The British government publishes findings of investigation into Bloody Sunday, the 1972 killing of 13 Catholic demonstrators by British troops. The investigation began in 1998 and became the most expensive in British legal history as it gathered evidence from 2,500 witnesses, including troops who opened fire that day. (AP Photo/Paul Faith/PA Wire) ** UNITED KINGDOM OUT **AP - The British soldiers who killed 13 Catholic demonstrators in Northern Ireland during “Bloody Sunday” nearly four decades ago committed “unjustified and unjustifiable” killings of unarmed and innocent victims and then lied about it, a fact-finding investigation concluded Tuesday after a 12-year hunt for the truth.
