Shot IRA unit 'fired first at SAS'
An eight-man IRA unit wiped out by SAS gunmen after they launched a bomb attack on an Armagh police station nearly 25 years ago opened fire first on the undercover soldiers, it has been claimed.
A report of an investigation into the shootings by the historical enquiries team (HET), which was set up to investigate unsolved killings in the North, is due to be handed over to relatives of the Provisionals who died, as well as the family of an innocent civilian caught up in the gunfire outside Loughgall RUC station in May 1987.
