Nairac involved..?
Murdered, *and* their murderers intended to put a bomb in their car, let them drive off and have the bomb explode so that they could accuse them of smuggling bombs for the IRA.
I always think when I’m reminded of this story that there could easily have been a world where they murdered the whole band and the whole of the British press piled on to paint them as terrorists.
I only heard today that one member was shot 22 times, mostly in face!

Does remembering these events help move past sectarianism and the Unionism Vs Nationalisms debate?
I’d understand maybe if it was less of a blame X group and it was to just make the deaths but it feels as if it maintains the barriers we need to breakdown to move forward.
Just seen some calls it a massacre? It was a murder and a killing and I’d say an assassination and execution.
