Paul Tibbets dies

Paul Tibbets , the commander of the bomber Enola Gay, which in 1945 dropped the nuclear bomb on Hiroshoma has died at the age of 92.

Tibbets always maintained that his conscience was clear of the bombing: "I'm not proud that I killed 80,000 people, but I'm proud that I was able to start with nothing, plan it and have it work as perfectly as it did," he said in a 1975 interview.

He has requested no funeral or headstone - he fears they would attract protesters.
