[PAR] [TLE] Operation Flavius [SEP] Operation Flavius (also referred to as the "Gibraltar killings") was a controversial military operation in which three members of the Provisional Irish Republican Army (IRA) were shot dead by the British Special Air Service (SAS) in Gibraltar on 6 March 1988.  The three—Seán Savage, Daniel McCann, and Mairéad Farrell—were believed to be mounting a bombing attack on British military personnel in Gibraltar.  Plain-clothed SAS soldiers approached them in the forecourt of a petrol station, then opened fire, killing them.  All three were found to be unarmed, and no bomb was discovered in Savage's car, leading to accusations that the British government had conspired to murder them.  An inquest in Gibraltar ruled that the SAS had acted lawfully, while the European Court of Human Rights held that, although there had been no conspiracy, the planning and control of the operation was so flawed as to make the use of lethal force almost inevitable.  The deaths were the first in a chain of violent events in a fourteen-day period; they were followed by the Milltown Cemetery attack and the corporals killings in Belfast. [PAR] [TLE] Milltown Cemetery attack [SEP] The Milltown Cemetery attack (also known as the Milltown Cemetery killings or Milltown Massacre) took place on 16 March 1988 in Belfast's Milltown Cemetery.  During the funeral of three Provisional IRA volunteers killed in Gibraltar, an Ulster Defence Association (UDA) volunteer, Michael Stone, attacked the mourners with hand grenades and pistols.  As Stone then ran towards the nearby motorway, a large crowd began chasing him and he continued shooting and throwing grenades.  Some of them caught him and began beating him, but he was rescued by the police and arrested.  Three people had been killed and more than 60 wounded.  The "unprecedented, one-man attack" was filmed by television news crews and caused shock around the world.
