A coroner has ruled that inquests into the deaths of those killed in the Birmingham pub bombings can be reopened.
Two bombs exploded in pubs in the city on November 21, 1974, killing 21 people and injuring 182 others.
Campaigners broke down in tears outside a court in Birmingham as they celebrated the city coroner's decision to resume the pub bombings inquests.
Julie Hambleton, who lost her sister Maxine in the 1974 attacks, said it was a "seismic day" for the families of the 21 people killed.
She said she felt that "anything is possible" now in their campaign for the truth.
Addressing the bombers themselves - who have never been brought to justice - she urged them to speak up.
"If you have any level of humanity, and any moral compass, then by rights you should come forward," she added.
A coroner has ruled that inquests into the Birmingham pub bombings can be reopened after receiving "significant" new information.
"How dare he make such horrendous statements over the airwaves."
A decision is expected today on whether to open new inquests into the deaths of the 21 victims of the Birmingham pub bombings.
