The case drags on...
The Ministry of Defence (MoD) has been challenged to clarify when it became aware of a British army video that may show the moment the SAS shot dead a Co Derry man.
The existence of the video emerged last week during an inquest into the suspected shoot-to-kill operation that resulted in the death of Francis Bradley.
The 20-year-old was shot close to an arms dump near Toome in February 1986 and his name was later added to the IRA’s roll of honour.
The inquest, which opened last year, previously heard that he had told of being threatened by police before he was killed.
During a hearing last week coroner Peter Irvine, who is also a Crown Court judge, was told that a former British soldier, known as Soldier U, has claimed in a statement that a helicopter captured a video of the shooting, which he later viewed.

Yes, of course, 'the highest standards in all things' (including outraging everyone else of course
)“What Manner Of Men Are These That Wear The Maroon Beret?
They are firstly all volunteers and are toughened by physical training. As a result they have infectious optimism and that offensive eagerness which comes from well-being. They have 'jumped' from the air and by doing so have conquered fear.
Their duty lies in the van of the battle. They are proud of this honour. They have the highest standards in all things whether it be skill in battle or smartness in the execution of all peace time duties. They are in fact - men apart - every man an emperor.
Of all the factors, which make for success in battle, the spirit of the warrior is the most decisive. That spirit will be found in full measure in the men who wear the maroon beret”
― Bernard Montgomery
