Well, as I pointed out in another message from 1969-1974, British security services killed 117 civilians, only 13 of which were the civilians shot dead

Bloody Sunday.

I don't doubt it..but if an army chose to 'attack an area' how many casualties would really occur?. If they had attacked the area then 104 dead in 5 years is a pretty bad record, thats 21 per year not, one every 2-3 days, not nice, but hardly a massacre. You should be able to do that in 1/2 an hour if they were attacked in the true nature of attack...hell the Americans unfortunately did that with one bomb in Ameriyah in Baghdad.

So no, I don't believe the British Army attacked nationalist areas. the figures don't add up do they?

See, isn't is nice to be able to use statistics when they support your argument. <g>

Of course that works both ways. British security averaged 20 civilians killed per year from 1969-1974. The IRA averaged 30 per year over the same period.
