Birmingham bombings: 'IRA mole tipped off police'

It was one of the worst atrocities of the Troubles, with 21 people being killed after explosives detonated inside two busy pubs. Now, a coroner has been told that an IRA informant may have tipped off police before the Birmingham bombings took place. The claim was made by a representative of the victims' families, who want the inquest to be reopened more than 40 years after it was adjourned.
