EDDIE NAUGHTON,
Sir, - For sheer gall the PIRA's statement that the killing of "non-combatants" was unintended takes some beating. The no-warning bombs in Britain and the North which murdered hundreds and maimed thousands makes nonsense of that contention.
The cold-blooded assassination of political opponents, elected and otherwise, also nails that squalid lie.
But by far the Provos' single most disgusting act was the deliberate sectarian murder of 10 Protestant men at Kingsmill, on their way home from their place of work. Taken from the bus bearing them home to their families, these poor unfortunate workers were then machine-gunned to death.
