BBC Radio 4 - The World Tonight, Survivor of Kingsmills massacre calls for a public inquiry

Inquest finds that the IRA killed 10 men in County Armagh in 1976

The sole survivor of the Kingsmills massacre in which 10 men were killed in County Armagh in 1976 has called for a public inquiry. Alan Black told the World Tonight an inquest had brought the families no closer to the truth. The coroner concluded the men were targeted in 1976 by the IRA for no other reason than they were Protestant. 

Also in the programme: the town which effectively banned children under 12 from having smartphones; and we hear about the new series of Blue Lights.
