Victims' families, survivors and dignitaries will gather today to mark the 25th anniversary of the Omagh bombing, the deadliest attack of the Troubles in Northern Ireland
VICTIMS’ FAMILIES, SURVIVORS and dignitaries will gather today to mark the 25th anniversary of the Omagh bombing, the deadliest attack of the Troubles in Northern Ireland.
The memorial service, organised by victims’ groups and the town’s churches forum, will be held in Omagh Memorial Garden today. A separate, private service will be held for families on 15 August.Perpetrated by the Real IRA, a dissident republican group opposed to the peace deal, the attack rallied the public around the agreement.
Victims’ families and survivors of the blast have faced years of legal wrangling over the bombing through a series of inquests, criminal and civil cases and appeals, but nobody has ever been convicted for the atrocity. The attack, which was later claimed by the New IRA, recalled the routine targeting of police officers during the Troubles.
