THE North’s Deputy First Minister Martin McGuinness has been challenged to meet the victims of the Claudy bombing after revealing he met the chief suspect in the attack.

THE head of the Catholic Church in Ireland, Cardinal Seán Brady, yesterday strenuously denied the Church colluded in covering up the suspected involvement of a priest in one of the worst terrorist outrages in the Troubles.

A Sinn Féin mayor today backed calls for a public inquiry into one of the worst IRA atrocities during the Troubles in Northern Ireland.

Former British Tory party grandee Lord Whitelaw may have been involved in a conspiracy to pervert the course of justice while Northern Ireland Secretary more than 30 years ago, it was claimed tonight.

A NEW inquiry is to be launched into the Claudy massacre following fresh claims that a Catholic priest planned the bomb attack in July 1972.
