Bloody Sunday: British Soldier Faces Trial for Decades-Old Killings

The only British soldier charged over the Bloody Sunday killings in 1972, where 13 unarmed Catholic civil rights marchers were shot, will stand trial for murder, as ruled by a Northern Irish court. The soldier, known as Soldier F, was initially charged in 2019 but the case was dropped in 2021. However, the decision was quashed, and the soldier has now been returned to stand trial on murder and attempted murder charges. Bloody Sunday was the worst single shooting incident during The Troubles, a period of sectarian violence in Northern Ireland.
