Sinn Fein’s Martin McGuinness will not identify former comrades in the IRA when he takes the witness stand in the Bloody Sunday Inquiry.

A man who claims he heard a soldier boasting that he shot one of the Bloody Sunday victims in the head said today he could not identify him because of the passage of time.

The Bloody Sunday tribunal has heard evidence that a man shot dead by soldiers had just escaped from the back of a British Army landrover.

The Bloody Sunday Inquiry today heard more accounts of paratroopers firing from the hip at the scene where six of the 13 men killed that day were shot.

A witness wept today as he described cries and groans coming from an Army Saracen vehicle where the body of a Bloody Sunday victim had been thrown by "laughing" paratroopers.

A former Army Paratrooper who has claimed in a TV programme he opened fire in Derry’s Bogside on Bloody Sunday was named today by the judges re-investigating the shootings.
