New Police Ombudsman report into the Mc Gurks Bar bombing

A report by the Police Ombudsman's Office has found that while there is no evidence that the RUC assisted those responsible for the UVF bombing of McGurk's Bar in Belfast in 1971, the police investigation had such a predisposition towards the view that the IRA were responsible for the bomb that this became an investigative bias. The report has concluded that while this fell short of collusion it precluded an effective investigation of the atrocity.
