Birmingham pub bomber issues apology

A self-confessed IRA bomb maker who was one of two men named in a landmark Granada TV programme in 1990 as one of those responsible for the Birmingham Pub bombings has issued an apology.

In a wide ranging interview with the BBC, Michael Christopher Hayes said he was sorry innocent people were killed.

Some 21 people killed when bombs exploded in two Birmingham pubs on November 21, 1974.
