Bloody Sunday paras 'were savage terrorists'

Paratroopers who shot and killed 13 unarmed civil rights protesters on Bloody Sunday were “savage, trained terrorists” who took pride and pleasure in “legalised murder“, it was claimed today.

Soldiers from the Parachute Regiment who carried out the “appalling slaughter” on the streets of Derry on January 30, 1972 also brutally mistreated their prisoners, it was alleged.
