 Four were British Army soldiers, two were Royal Ulster Constabulary (RUC), and one was a civilian.The civilian, Francis McCloskey, was killed under disputed circumstances, with many blaming the RUC; all the other deaths were the responsibility of republican paramilitary groups, with the Irish Republican Army killing three soldiers and a RUC officer, and the Irish National Liberation Army killing one RUC officer and one soldier.Both RUC officers were Protestant; McCloskey was Roman Catholic.
