Birmingham pub bombings: My reflections and regrets

Available for over a year

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 BBC'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 BBC. 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. Image: BBC/Getty
