Blast bereaved in legal threat

FAMILIES bereaved in a pub bombing in the North have threatened to take legal action against the region’s chief constable over his refusal to accept that investigating police officers were biased.

A probe by the independent Police Ombudsman into the 1971 McGurk’s Bar atrocity in Belfast found detectives adopted an “investigative bias” by claiming the attack was committed by republicans when in fact loyalists were to blame.
