General’s Bloody Sunday comments ludicrous - reporter

A reporter who was with the team which filmed dramatic footage of Bishop Edward Daly on Bloody Sunday today criticised as "ludicrous" the explanation of the Army general on the ground that day.

John Bierman said he quickly came to the conclusion that General Robert Ford was being "economical with the truth" when interviewed in Derry’s Bogside immediately after 13 civil rights demonstrators were shot dead.
