A coroner’s ruling the SAS was unjustified in shooting dead four IRA men in Tryone has been controversial with unionist politicians and British Army veterans. The four IRA men were shot dead in Clonoe in 1992, minutes after attacking Coalisland RUC Station. All four were members of the IRA’s East Tyrone brigade – one of the organisations most active. But it was also one which lost many of its own members at the hands of the security forces, particularly the SAS.
