Ten people shot dead in Ballymurphy were innocent, inquest finds

Report says killings during British army operations in Belfast in 1971 were unjustified

Ten people killed in Belfast during a British army operation in 1971 were unarmed, innocent civilians and posed no threat to soldiers, an inquest in Northern Ireland has found.

The damning findings in a long-awaited coroner's report implicated the army in an atrocity to rival Bloody Sunday, potentially galvanising a new push to prosecute army veterans.
