Man arrested in connection with 1974 Birmingham Bombings
21 lives were lost in the blasts at the Mulberry Bush and Tavern in the Town pubs.
A man has been arrested in connection with the murders of 21 people in the 1974 pub bombings in Birmingham, days before the 46th anniversary of the two deadly explosions at the Mulberry Bush and Tavern in the Town pubs.
220 victims were also injured.
West Midlands Police said officers from the West Midlands counter terrorism unit, working with the PSNI arrested a 65-year-old man at his home in Belfast on Wednesday.
The man was arrested under the Terrorism Act and a search of his home is being carried out.
It comes just a month after Home Secretary Priti Patel said she would consider holding a public inquiry into the bombings
In April last year, an inquest jury found a botched IRA warning call led to the deaths of 21 people unlawfully killed in the atrocity.
A flawed investigation by West Midlands Police led to the wrongful convictions of the Birmingham Six - one of the worst miscarriages of justice in British legal history.
