Police accused over Omagh Bomb

DB10

Fresh evidence that police could have intercepted the Omagh bombers before they committed the atrocity has been uncovered in a new independent inquiry, victims’ relatives have claimed.

Bereaved families who commissioned the report said it has identified “hard proof” that officers on both sides of the Border were involved in a live operation on the day of the attack.

The family campaigners have previously demanded a cross-Border inquiry into whether the authorities in the Republic and the North could have done more to prevent the bombing.

Relatives who commissioned the report met Northern Ireland Secretary Owen Paterson in Belfast today ahead of presenting the final version to the UK government next month.

Michael Gallagher, whose 21-year-old son Aiden was murdered in the attack, said the meeting was “hot and heavy”.

“We told him we have evidence that there was a live police operation going on on August 15th that could have intercepted the bombers,” he said.

“This is new evidence that hasn’t been made public before.” He added: “We also have evidence that public officials lied to the general public about the Omagh bombing.

“We will be producing all of that evidence to him on June 18th.”

Officers on both sides of the border? The Gardai also potentially involved.

It's been clear for some time now to anyone that this was part of collusion involving PSNI/RUC, and MI5, with Gardai possibly having knowledge.

Nobody has been criminally convicted for this. You can be sure in intelligence circles it is well known who was involved. The lack of convictions are mostly due to it being instigated by double agents like David Rupert who was a major player in this incident, conveniently in witness protection at this time.

The objective was to end physical force republicanism and support for it. The objective was met and everyone thus supported the peace process.
It just took 30 innocent deaths, for it to happen.Of course most will disagree.

Nobody panics when things go according to plan. Even if the plan is horrifying.

I think you're adding 2+2 and making 147 there fella. Being "involved in a live operation" is not the same as collusion in the bombing or even letting it happen through omission (which is what you seem to be implying). Don't assume evil intent where incompetence will serve.
