“FBI agent key to Omagh bomb case”
By Ian Graham

ARTICLE SNIPPET: “THE Omagh bombing was described as “a massacre of the innocents” yesterday, as a civil action was launched against five men the victims’ families believe to be responsible.

Twenty-nine people, including a mother pregnant with twins, were killed, and hundreds more hurt when the Real IRA bombed the County Tyrone town in August 1998.

Some of those who lost loved ones and others who were injured have launched the civil action after the failure of the authorities to bring anyone to justice for the bombing. Last December, Sean Hoey, a South Armagh electrician, was cleared of all charges related to the bombing and other Real IRA attacks.

Those named in the civil action are alleged terrorists Michael McKevitt, Colm Murphy and Liam Campbell, as well as Seamus McKenna and Seamus Daly. All five are from the Irish Republic and at the time of the bombing lived in or around Dundalk, County Louth. All five deny involvement and all but Campbell are represented at the hearing.”

ARTICLE SNIPPET: “He said the case would expose the workings of the Real IRA. It would include evidence from an FBI agent who infiltrated the terrorist group, testimony about a British sting operation and information from the police on both sides of the border. The case is expected to run for up to eight weeks.”
