	Inquiry into "Bloody Sunday" opens in Northern Ireland
		Just three years after the Labour government had sent the British army to Northern Ireland in 1969, the shootings blew apart claims that the military were in the province to defend the Catholic minority.

		Documents presented on the second day of the Saville Inquiry show that the events of 1972 were not a response to a “terrorist threat” but a show of strength designed to intimidate the Catholic population in general, and those opposed to British rule in particular.

		Bloody Sunday (Ireland), incident in Northern Ireland in 1972 in which a number of protestors taking part in a banned march in Londonderry (Derry) were shot by the British Army.
		In Ireland, for 50 years the term “Bloody Sunday” evoked a memory of November 21, 1920, when 14 British secret service men were simultaneously killed by the Irish Volunteers in their Dublin homes, and in retaliation Auxiliary police killed 12 spectators and players and injured 60 others at a Dublin football match.
		British troops had been sent into Northern Ireland in 1969 to support the local police in a period of rising civil disturbances (see The Troubles) but their presence in itself inflamed feelings and they had become the target of terrorist attacks by the Irish Republican Army (IRA).

	Bloody Sunday
		The succinct day-in-the-life style that the helmer of "Bloody Sunday" adopts also holds kin to the Ridley Scott's gut-wrenching "Black Hawk Down."

		Their counterparts in the field are Gerry Donaghy (Declan Duddy, whose uncle was the first killed on Bloody Sunday), a seventeen year old just out of prison for stone throwing, and Paratrooper 27 (Mike Edwards, an ex-infantry soldier), a young soldier whose unit fired most of the shots that day.
		We hear the complaints of the British soldiers, who've lost 43 of their own to violence in Ireland and are constantly baited by the local youth, tempered against Para 27, who wonders that 'they're only kids throwing rocks' and that the march is for civil rights.
