Rule of gun: Soldier 027 tells the Bloody
Sunday enquiry that on 30 January 1972 his Parachute Regiment comrades
needlessly shot and killed 13 civil rights demonstrators:
'Two people towards the centre of the barricade fell within seconds of
each other in the opening burst of fire.
'I did not see anyone with a weapon or see or hear an explosive device. I
have a clear memory of consciously thinking "what are they firing at?"
and feeling some inadequacy. What was I not seeing that I ought to be seeing.'
[Guardian].
