The IRA bombarded the church with bombs and artillery fire, in an attempt to drive them from the area

After several years of fighting, the IRA killed some 200 people

A total of 1,000 people were found dead in a mass grave along with more than 100 bodies of other IRA members, it emerged today.

The 1,000 corpses were discovered after the soldiers from the Royal Ulster Constabulary and the Defence Forces came across the site and returned it to the Ulster Defence Association.

The soldiers found dead people in several locations in the town.

As they returned to the village this evening, the army officers had decided not to use the body haul to help secure burial for the IRA's victims.

Today the IRA said the bodies are a waste of time.

They said today: 'We respect the IRA and they will now be buried properly and our sympathies will be with the families of those dead.'

DUP leader Arlene Foster announced an inquiry into the investigation.

A spokesman for the army confirmed to the Ulster Herald on the condition of anonymity that the bodies had been discovered in a mass grave.

When the Army was formed in the wake of Bloody Sunday, it established a body search area where IRA militants were known to have held bodies.

The area was also used to search for bodies left by dissident republicans during the Troubles.

The IRA also carried out searches in Derry, Magherafelt and Limavady in the 1980s for those missing and murdered by dissident republicans during a period of high-profile terror.

The searches found several bodies dumped, with no explanation given.

Armed: Police said one of the soldiers went to the site, where he found bodies and an IRA bomb. The bodies are a waste of time The IRA would "not comment or comment on whether they had any specific plans to use the site as a burial site", said a statement today from the defence organisation

In an exclusive interview on Sunday, Iain McCaig, the former commanding general of the Armed Forces, said a total of 150 soldiers were responsible for the search and buried the dead, while an "appropriate amount of material" was found in the graves.

He said the bodies were found as a result of a number of searches conducted in the area in the early 1980s.

The IRA claims it buried people on the site of a gas factory after the collapse of a building in 1972.
