LONDON (AFP) â British Prime Minister David Cameron apologised on Tuesday for the Bloody Sunday killings, one of the darkest days in Northern Ireland's history, calling them unjustified and unjustifiable.
As a long-awaited report into the shootings of 13 civilians by British troops on January 30, 1972 was published, he said none of the victims were armed and soldiers had given no warning before opening fire.
There is no doubt .. what happened on Bloody Sunday was both unjustified and unjustifiable. It was wrong, he told the House of Commons in London, adding: On behalf of the government .... I am deeply sorry.
