On 15 August 1998, four months after the signing of the Good Friday Agreement, a car bomb killed 31 people and injured 300. But, with the exception of one accomplice, the perpetrators have not been tried and no investigation has yet shed light on the failings of the authorities.

25 years after the Omagh bombing justice is still pending.

#omagh I wish DCI Brian Caldwell a speedy recovery. Those responsible must feel the full weight of the law. There can be no return to violence.

Gestern Nacht wurde in #Omagh #Nordirland ein Anschlag auf den hohen #Polizei|beamten DCI John Caldwell verübt. Hinter dem Attentat werden militante irische Republikaner vermutet, die #PSNI spricht von der #NewIRA. Heute Nachmittag wurden 3 Männer im Alter von 38, 45 & 47 verhaftet. Ich berichte darüber morgen in 2 Artikeln für @jungewelt & @ndaktuell #news #breakingnews #nachrichten #zeitung #ireland #irland #northernireland

Blair’s failures over the Omagh bombing have become outright hostility to the truth under the Conservatives - Fintan O’Toole

https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2023/feb/06/tony-blair-omagh-bombing-inquiry-bereaved-rishi-sunak

#Omagh #ECHR

"..neglect of duty by Blair has turned, under Conservative governments, into active hostility to truth-seeking. The Omagh families are finally getting an inquiry because the high court in Belfast recognised that they have a right under the European convention on human rights to a proper investigation of their loved ones’ murders. But ending the UK’s adherence to the ECHR is an obsession of the Tory right"

Very good column from Fintan O'Toole.
