Two Terrorist Mass Killings In Focus
A report on the police investigation into an Ulster Volunteer Force (UVF) shooting which killed six men in a Co Down bar will be published on Friday.
The massacre at the Heights Bar, Loughinisland, happened as customers watched the Republic of Ireland play Italy during the 1994 World Cup.
The report is by the Police Ombudsman Al Hutchinson, who has been probing the original police inquiry.
Meanwhile, families of those killed in the IRA's Kingsmills Massacre have received the report into the bloody murders of their loved ones after an investigation by the Historical Enquiries Team.
It found that the IRA was indeed responsible for the atrocity and that the 10 victims were targeted simply because of their religion.
The families have now called for a public inquiry into the killings after the IRA refused to admit involvement.
