Britain ‘profoundly sorry’ victims were denied justice

NORTHERN Ireland secretary Owen Paterson said the British Government was “profoundly sorry” that the victims of the 1972 Claudy bombing and their families had been denied justice.

The attack was a terrible atrocity carried out by terrorists during the bloodiest year of the Troubles, said Mr Paterson.

He said he absolutely condemned the actions of the terrorists, saying it was a despicable and evil act carried out by despicable and evil people.
