IRA to Continue Attacks Amid Civil Rights Protests
In Northern Ireland, civil rights leaders staged peaceful demonstrations across the province while the IRA warned it would keep bombing British targets. Protests included hunger strikes in Londonderry and pickets at internment camps as Brits detention policy drew fresh opposition. The IRA called for citizens to heed bomb scares and stay away from British troop facilities, intensifying tensions after the Londonderry killings. In Londonderry opposition parties began a 24 hour fast at Free Derry Corner near the Bogside, and in Belfast a Catholic man was shot by gunmen over liberal views, with two soldiers wounded by a mine during patrols.
