Former IRA volunteer Martin McAllister, who was in the Maze at the time the Kingsmill killing took place disputes the suggestion that the massacre was not authorised by PIRA high command. From the BBC News website: "

Somebody in republicanism needs to stand up and say that too in regards to Kingsmills. It will give some relief perhaps to somebody like Alan Black."

Alan Black was the sole survivor of the attack but sustained 18 gunshot wounds.

Mr McAllister added: "We need to stand up and admit what it was we did, because we are doing it to ourselves. Almost everything that happened here over the past 40 years we have done to ourselves and unfortunately, we are still doing it.

"Saying that were not going back to the past; the argument about that doesn't hold water any more because we can never go back to the past; the electoral figures don't allow it any more.

"What needs to happen here is that somebody somewhere needs to make a decision and say we going to put our hands up: we did this."

A 'rogue' element

He rejected suggestions that it was a "rogue" element within the IRA which carried out the shooting.

"The people who actually carried out the deed that night; they would have been sent out. It was policy and it would have been policy at that time. Otherwise it would not have happened in that way.

"But somebody needs to clear this matter up, if only for the victims and survivors to give them some idea of what actually went on."



These words followed on from McAllister acknowledging that David Cameron, former UK priminister had acknowledged that what happened on Bloody Sunday was wrong. My interpretation is that he is acknowledging the harm that the IRA has done in Ulster.

McAllister ended his involvement in republicanism following the Kingsmill killings.
