SF admits Birmingham bombings were wrong

The 1974 Birmingham pub bombings were wrong and should not have happened, Sinn Féin has admitted.

A party spokesman said today that if there were issues relating to the IRA still to be addressed over the bombings, then this should happen.  

The statement comes days before the 30th anniversary of the two bombings, which killed 21 people and injured 182 on 21 November 1974.
