Five decades after British soldiers killed 13 unarmed Catholic civil rights marchers on one of the defining days of the Northern Irish conflict, relatives are still searching for the justice they believe is needed for a scarred society to heal
Family and friends of the 13 Catholics who died in Londonderry on Bloody Sunday, January 30, 1972 -- and of a 14th who died later of his wounds -- gathered this week for a series of commemorations to mark the event that helped fuel three decades of bitter sectarian and political violence.
A leading member of Northern Ireland's pro-British Democratic Unionist Party complained that"countless words" had been written about Bloody Sunday but little about two soldiers shot dead by Irish nationalist militants a few days earlier.While the Irish Republican Army was responsible for about half of the deaths in the conflict, nationalists argue the violence was spurred by a repressive state that denied them their rights -- and rarely more vividly than on Bloody Sunday.
