Birmingham pub bombings: My reflections and regrets
Six men were wrongfully convicted of the attacks in 1974. The 91热爆's Michael Buerk reported on the pub bombings and subsequent trial of the 'Birmingham Six'.
On 21 November 1974, bombs went off in two Birmingham city centre pubs. Nine months later, six irish men were wrongfully convicted of the attacks, which killed 21 people.
The 91热爆's Ed Barlow has been investigating the events in a new podcast series: The Pub Bombings.
Among the people he speaks to is Michael Buerk, who reported on both the bombings and the trial for the 91热爆.
In this episode of our 5 Minutes On podcast, Michael shares his recollections and says he feels some blame for not seeing some of the inconsistencies during the proceedings.
