Derry Journal.com Tuesday, April 2, 2002 Bloody Sunday Inquiry Cameraman attacked because of BBC sticker September 14, 2001 A LOCAL cameraman who was tasked to cover the NICRA march on Bloody Sunday told the Inquiry how he was attacked when he tried to film two injured men because of a BBC sticker on the side of his camera. CYRIL CAVE, who was working with BBC journalist John Bierman on Bloody Sunday told how he went into a house in William Street along with his sound recordist Jim Deeney where they had been told two injured men were being treated. "Once we got inside people noticed the BBC sticker on the side of my camera and someone shouted 'get the f***ing BBC out of here!'. "There was a lot of hostility towards anything British at that particular moment and some of the people in the hallway of the house started to attack us. "The front of my camera was damaged in the fracas and the tungsten light filter attached to the lens fell off. I reached down to pick it up and was kicked and punched, " Mr. Cave said, adding that he left the house as soon as he could. Mr. Cave made his way to the corner of Harvey Street and Chamberlain Street where he saw Father Daly approach in front of a group of men carrying the body of Jackie Duddy. After filming the scene, Mr. Cave made his way to the rubble barricade where he saw two officers, one of whom was Captain Michael Jackson. "They asked us 'Where are you going?', I replied 'We're going through your lines'. One of them said 'Be careful'." Mr. Cave told the Inquiry that the soldier who warned him to be careful was Captain Jackson, who is now a General in the army. He said that himself and John Bierman then attempted to interview Father Daly, but were interrupted by gunfire which appeared to come from the City Walls. Gunshot The tribunal was then shown Mr. Cave's footage in which a voice could clearly be heard to shout "Take cover they are shooting from the Walls" as gunshots are heard. The BBC crew then made their way to Barrier 14 in William Street where they interviewed General Ford. "The soldiers let us through the barrier to talk to Ford. He told us that two people had been killed. Bierman replied that he had already seen seven people who had been killed. "Ford seemed shocked," Mr. Cave said.
