61-Year-Old Arrested for 1982 IRA Bombing That Killed 3 Northern Ireland Police Officers
Martin John McCauley faces murder charges more than four decades after the attack that claimed the lives of three Royal Ulster Constabulary officers.
- McCauley was apprehended on an extradition warrant and appeared in a Dublin court.
- The decision to prosecute comes after a comprehensive investigation by Operation Kenova.
- This case marks a rare prosecution related to 'the Troubles,' a conflict that ended with the 1998 Good Friday Agreement.
- A controversial law, the Legacy and Reconciliation Bill, is being challenged for its compliance with human rights law.
- McCauley denies the charges and plans to contest his extradition.
