40 years after pub bombings families renew call for justice
RELATIVES of the victims of the Birmingham pub bombings renewed their call for justice yesterday as they gathered to mark the 40th anniversary of the atrocities.
Twenty-one people were killed and 182 injured when the twin blasts tore through two city centre pubs on the evening of November 21 1974.
The initial explosion ripped through the Mulberry Bush at the foot of the city centre Rotunda near what is now the Bullring shopping centre, killing 10 people.
