Paras' deployment 'led to Bloody Sunday killings'

The Bloody Sunday shootings would not have happened if the Parachute Regiment had not been deployed in Derry, a soldier claimed today.

Soldier INQ 989 told the Saville Inquiry in London he believed the responsibility for the deaths of 13 civil rights marchers and the 13 casualties lay with those who ordered paratroopers into the city on January 30, 1972.
