Members of the families of the Protestant workers shot dead when their minibus was ambushed near Whitecross, south Armagh, in 1976, will today take part in a wreath-laying ceremony commemorating the 25th anniversary of the killings, which later became known as the Kingsmills massacre.
On the evening of January 5th, 1976, a group of armed men stopped a red Ford minibus carrying 12 workers returning from work in a textile mill near Glenanne, south Armagh.
The workers, one Catholic and 11 Protestants, were ordered out and lined against the side of the vehicle. The gunmen then ordered the Catholic worker to "get down the road" before shooting the remaining 11 men.
One man survived the attack despite being wounded 18 times. The killings were later admitted by an organisation calling itself the Republican Action Force.
No one has been charged in connection with the Kingsmills massacre. The night before the murder of the 10 men, loyalist gunmen shot dead six Catholics in separate attacks in Armagh and Down.
Prior to today's wreath-laying ceremony, a minibus, similar to that used by the 12 Kingsmills victims 25 years ago, will follow the route taken by the men.
