Description

Three men, Edward Hale (25), Peter Thompson (23), and John McNeill (43), were shot dead by a British Army undercover unit. The men were in the process of robbing a betting shop in West Belfast and two were in possession of imitation guns. The shootings renewed claims that there was a 'shoot to kill' policy among the security forces.
