Soldier F is accused of the murder of Patrick McVeigh, 44, who was shot at the junction of Finaghy Road North and Riverdale Park South in the city on May 13 1972. He will also face prosecution for the attempted murder of four other victims wounded in the same incident.
The soldiers all belonged to temporary Army unit, known as the Military Reaction Force (MRF), that was operating in Belfast in 1972. As the prosecution decisions have now been taken, the cases will not be affected by a contentious Government legacy law that will axe all future prosecutions related to the Troubles from May 1 this year.
