No new inquiry into Birmingham pub bombings

There will be no new inquiry into the Birmingham pub bombings after evidence was re-examined, police have said.

Twenty-one people were killed and 182 injured when two bombs exploded at the Mulberry Bush and the Tavern in the Town in November 1974.

Six people were jailed in 1975 but their convictions were quashed in 1991.

West Midlands Police said it had found "no new evidence that would assist us in bringing anyone to justice for the pub bombings".
