Rooney Inquest Demands New Witnesses | Cork News
Description
The family of Private Seán Rooney is demanding key witnesses—including an independent pathologist and ballistics experts—at his upcoming inquest, challenging official narratives over his fatal attack in Lebanon. The 24-year-old Donegal soldier, on UN peacekeeping duty, was shot near Al-Aqbiya after his armored jeep was ambushed; his fellow soldier Trooper Shane Kearney was also critically wounded. Questions persist about why Rooney, without a UN driving license, was off-route, and the family rejects claims he took a wrong turn. Meanwhile, legal action in Lebanon has resulted in convictions, including a death sentence for one suspect. The inquest, set to begin November 17th and last three weeks, may finally shed light on the circumstances surrounding his death.
