British army chief denies Bloody Sunday 'cover-up'

A document compiled by the British army’s most senior officer detailing shots fired by soldiers on Bloody Sunday did not explain how 13 unarmed civilians were killed, the Saville Inquiry heard today.

General Sir Mike Jackson, who was recalled to the inquiry to explain the contents of the “shot list”, denied being involved in a cover-up of the role of the Parachute Regiment in Derry on January 30, 1972.
