Man Remanded Over Omagh Bombing Atrocity

Written By Unknown on Jumat, 11 April 2014 | 18.55

A man charged with the murders of 29 people in the Omagh bomb 16 years ago has been remanded in custody.

Prominent Irish republican Seamus Daly, 43, originally from Cullaville in County Monaghan, appeared in the dock at Dungannon Magistrates' Court amid a heavy security presence.

Daly was successfully sued in a landmark civil case over the Real IRA outrage which happened in August 1998.

He was arrested on Monday by the Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) in Newry, County Down, and charged on Thursday night.

Seamus Daly has been charged with murdering 29 people in the Omagh bombing of 1998. Fifteen of those who died were under the age of 21

As well as the 29 counts of murder, he faces two other charges linked to the blast in Omagh and two charges connected to an attempted explosion in Lisburn in April 1998.

The car bomb attack on August 15, 1998, was the deadliest single atrocity of the Northern Ireland Troubles.

The 29 victims included a woman heavily pregnant with twins, three generations of the same family and Spanish exchange students.

Fifteen of the dead were under the age of 21.

More than 300 people were injured in the blast, many suffering life-changing wounds.

The attack dashed hopes of an immediate peace, coming just four months after the signing of the Good Friday Agreement.
