Prosecutors were today urged to consider bringing charges against soldiers accused of lying to Mark Saville's inquiry into the Bloody Sunday killings.

A senior British Army officer was “very, very annoyed” when he learned that paratroopers were being sent into the Bogside on Bloody Sunday and urged his superiors to think again, he told the Saville Inquiry today.

A former paratrooper who claims his colleagues killed 13 unarmed civil rights marchers without justification is “motivated by money”, the Bloody Sunday Inquiry was told today.

British army records about the order to send the paratroopers in on Bloody Sunday do not fully reflect the decisions made at the time, the Saville Inquiry was told today.
