A reopened investigation into the worst-ever unsolved terrorist attack on the British mainland will not bring any charges.
But the CPS said that the evidence submitted by West Midlands Police was insufficient.More than 200 people were injured, alongside the 21 killed, as two bombs exploded in the Tavern in the Town and Mulberry Bush pubs on November 21, 1974.Six Irish men - Hugh Callaghan, Paddy Hill, Gerry Hunter, John Walker, Richard McIlkenny and Billy Power - were wrongly convicted over the attacks and jailed for life in 1975.They were freed in 1991 after the Court of Appeal ruled their convictions were unsafe.
West Midlands Police lost a court appeal in 2020 to force the journalist Chris Mullin to hand over source material from the 1980s which was said to contain a confession from the true perpetrator of the crimes.
