Pub bombings answers 'no nearer despite repeal'

The article from MSN discusses the ongoing mystery surrounding the 1974 Birmingham pub bombings, where 21 people were killed. Despite the repeal of the Official Secrets Act, which was hoped to bring new information to light, there has been little progress in uncovering the truth. The bombings, attributed to the IRA, led to the wrongful conviction of the "Birmingham Six," who were later exonerated after serving 16 years in prison. The article highlights the frustration of the victims' families and survivors due to the lack of transparency and accountability from both the British government and the IRA. It notes that while some documents have been released, they have not provided significant new insights, and key information remains classified. The repeal of the Act was seen as a potential breakthrough, but as of now, it has not led to the anticipated revelations or justice for those affected.
