They added the "evidential threshold to proceed with a prosecution has not been met".

Foyle MP Colum Eastwood has described the decision as "incredible".

Lawyer Philip Barden, who represents several of the soldiers, said a "new approach" was needed to get to the truth about incidents from the Troubles.
