Bloody Sunday inquiry to hear from McAliskey

Bernadette McAliskey is due to give evidence to the Bloody Sunday tribunal later today.

The 54-year-old, who narrowly escaped the gunfire on the day of the shootings, is set to testify about the British army's role in the deaths of the 13 victims.

Several witnesses have already described how shots hit the wall behind her as she addressed a civil rights demonstration in Derry on Bloody Sunday.

Mrs McAliskey and her husband Michael survived a loyalist bid on their lives in 1981.
