Description

Three unarmed IRA members were shot dead by undercover members of the SAS in Gibraltar. The episode sparked intense controversy and began a chain of events that lead to a series of deaths in Northern Ireland on the 16th of March 1988 and 19th of March 1988. The British government claimed that the SAS shot the IRA members because they thought a bomb was about to be detonated though eye-witnesses claimed that those shot were given no warning.
