Saville Inquiry hears further British army evidence

A former British soldier has told the Saville Inquiry in London that he heard a colleague open fire on Bloody Sunday in Derry without issuing a warning.

The soldier, identified only as INQ 631, said his colleague, who was standing beside him, opened fire at a suspected gunman who he spotted in a window.

INQ 631 said he did not recall any shots being fired in his direction before the incident.

The Saville Inquiry is investigating the killing of 13 Catholic civil rights marchers by British soldiers in Derry on January 30, 1972.
