All seven men were shot in the head, and some were bound and hooded, the trademarks of the Irish Republican Army's execution squads. But at least two of the victims were Catholics. Although there was some speculation they had killed by IRA punishment squads, authorities believed they were the victims of Protestant extremists. Three of the victims were Protestants, and the fourth was a 19-year-old Jehovah's Witness from England who had been working in a camp for poor children since coming to Northern Ireland a week ago.

His body was found on a garbage dump, and authorities believed he may have been killed by mistake. tOO Show Dusk July Clearance IS UOV3 In Full Swing We will be open Monday Night 'Til 9 p.m. WILLIAM HOLDEN ERNEST BORGNINE WOODY STRODE SUSAN HAYWARD THE REVENGERS' IULY 4ffli SPECIAL C0-HI1 Paul Lee lewmao Einuii teket BSonej 982-7551 DBURN 4 Served from Noon to 8 p.m. HOLIDAY SPECIAL PRICE Driv-ln Thootr 991 at i Woodburn Includes Beverage Dessert SALEM -STAYTON WOODBURN (Off FrMwiy It) 'leg U.S. Pot.
