The Court of Appeal in the United Kingdom has ruled that an SAS soldier, referred to as Soldier B, was justified in shooting IRA driver Tony Doris during a confrontation in County Tyrone in June 1991. The court dismissed challenges to the coroner's verdict, which found that Doris was part of a collective threat alongside two armed IRA members, Peter Ryan and Lawrence McNally. The incident involved the soldiers firing up to 150 rounds as they intercepted the trio, who were suspected of planning an attack on security forces. Lady Chief Justice Dame Siobhan Keegan stated that it was reasonable for Soldier B to perceive the occupants of the car as a unified threat, thereby justifying his use of lethal force. The court's decision reinforces the coroner's conclusion that the soldier acted proportionately in a dangerous situation, where he believed lives were at risk. The appeal was initiated by Doris's relatives, who argued that he was wrongly executed as he was unarmed, but the court found their claims unsubstantiated.
