Ex-para admits 'fabrication' after Bloody Sunday
A former paratrooper said today he fabricated his original eyewitness account of the Bloody Sunday shootings that put soldiers in a positive light.
The radio operator in the 1st Battalion of the Parachute Regiment’s anti-tank platoon was taken line-by-line through his statement to the Royal Military Police (RMP) given days after Bloody Sunday when paratroopers killed 13 unarmed men on a Derry civil rights march on January 30 1972.
