Troubles families ‘ should be told truth’

The victims of one of the worst days of atrocities in the Troubles should be told the truth, a campaigner has said.

A wreath- laying ceremony took place at a Dublin memorial to 33 killed by loyalist bombers yesterday.

Their families want the British government to release classified security file sr el at- ing to death sin which state collusion is suspected.

The ceremony marked the 44th anniversary of the blasts when paramilitaries detonated four no-warning bombs in Dublin and Monaghan on 17 May, 1974.

The Justice for the Forgotten lobby group has fought a longrunning campaign for an open inquiry into allegations British security agents colluded with the terrorists to plot the co-ordinated and sophisticated attacks.

Spokeswoman Margaret Ur win said :“When people talk about justice, they are often meaning prosecutions and so on.

“We have been campaigning now for 25 years, since 1993 basically.

“What the families have always asked for, demanded, is for the truth rather than prosecutions.”
