Moves by the Government to challenge a ruling that SAS soldiers were not justified in killing four IRA members in a 1992 ambush are “disgraceful”, according to Sinn Fein.

Last month, coroner Mr Justice Michael Humphreys found that the soldiers did not have an honest belief in the necessity of using lethal force.
