No perjury charges for British soldiers accused of lying in Bloody Sunday probe
Fox News
15 British soldiers accused of lying to an inquiry into Bloody Sunday, during which 13 civilians were killed in the Northern Ireland conflict, will not face perjury charges.
An initial investigation into the slayings on Jan. 30, 1972 concluded the soldiers were defending themselves from a mob of IRA bombers and gunmen. But a 12-year-long inquiry concluded in 2010 that soldiers unjustifiably opened fire on unarmed and fleeing civilians and then lied about it for decades.
