- A convicted bomber has named four men he claims carried out the 1974 Birmingham pub attacks - telling inquests he had been given permission to do so by the head of the IRA.
In a dramatic turn, an anonymous ex-IRA volunteer giving evidence at the inquests, said he had been told six months ago by the current head of the IRA that he could name those he knew were involved.
The man, identified only as Witness O - speaking over a secure video-link - named the officer commanding (OC) the Birmingham IRA at the time, Seamus McLoughlin, as the person responsible for selecting the targets.
