Saville: Officer 'unwittingly gave wrong information'

The man who commanded the British army on Bloody Sunday today said he had unknowingly given “inaccurate” information to the original inquiry into the shootings.

Major General Patrick MacLellan, a brigadier and commander of 8th Brigade in January 1972, told the Bloody Sunday Inquiry that his orders had been breached, but there was no cover-up launched to hide that fact.
