Court Overturns Birmingham Pub Bombing Inquest Ruling
It follows a legal challenge by victims’ families
21 people were killed in two IRA bomb blasts in Birmingham in 1974 - six Irish men were wrongly convicted of the atrocity.
The men, known as the Birmingham Six, had their convictions quashed in 1991.
Today a judicial review has found that the scope of the forthcoming inquest should be extended to include the issue of who carried out the bombing.
Mrs Justice Carr's order on the quashing of the inquest ruling is not mandatory and will therefore now need to be considered by the Coroner.
