Bloody Sunday: 'No cover-up over IRA deaths'

IRA men could not have been shot dead on Bloody Sunday and their deaths kept secret, the Saville Inquiry into the deaths of 13 civilians shot dead by paratroopers 30 year ago was told today.

It has long been the claim of lawyers acting for military witnesses at the inquiry that there were 34 people shot on January 30 1972 who have not been accounted for and their suggestion has been they included IRA members secretly taken away from the scene.
