A "No shit, sherlock" special with some additional questions that need answering

I read on the BBC  that:

'Sinn Fein's Martin McGuinness has acknowledged that accidental killings by the IRA of civilians could be described as "murders".

In an interview with the Independent, he said the IRA "was involved in incidents which resulted in the accidental killing of innocent people".

Mr McGuinness added "the term used by the relatives of those people who were killed was that they were murdered".'

I will leave out the word 'accidental' from that first sentence because I am not sure of its validity and that leaves us with 'killings by the IRA of civilians could be described as "murders"' - "No shit, Sherlock"

However there are some additional questions that Martin McGuinness needs to answer in relation to this statement. First 'accidental' - Does Martin McGuinness really want us to believe that those killed by IRA bombs and bulletswere killed accidentally? Let's leave aside the fact that the IRA killed dozens and dozens of British Armed forces and Police; has Martin MacGuinness ever apologised for their murder? He seems happy to claim that they were killed as part of a war of liberation but equally keen on having the British government and Army censured for retaliating and killing IRA members; how odd.

Martin McGuinness and the IRA's use of the phrase "legitimate targets" to describe the people they murdered  reminds me of the Islamist terrorists justification of killing infidels as infidels cannot be 'innocent'.

The ame BBC article includes this line 'Mr McGuinness has accused the media of becoming obsessed with his IRA past, claiming that ordinary voters are not interested in the issue.'. I wonder if that's true, do ordinary voters really not care if their future President is a former murderer, really?

However the questions I really want answered though are these: how many British soldiers, policemen and civilians were killed personally by Martin McGuinness, how many on his orders and how mnay could he have prevented by saying 'No' to their IRA killers? Is the answer to all three of those questions really 'no'?
