FIREBOMB HORROR AT LA MON RELIVED
Firebomb horror at La Mon relived
LYNNE Coulter, who was badly injured in the La Mon bombing over 20 years ago, broke down in tears when describing her reaction to the Omagh bombing.
She is now wondering whether it is worth it to continue living in Northern Ireland.
"It brings it all back to me. I was so upset when I heard because there are a lot of similarities with La Mon.
"I turned on the TV this morning and had to walk away.
"You can never know how anyone is feeling but I can understand what they are going through and words can not describe it.
"I hope people will be there for the people in Omagh. I got through what happened to me because people who meant something to me were there when I needed them.
"It never goes away though. I am sitting here 20 years on and I have got on with my life but it only takes something like this to bring it back.
"I went to the memorial service for La Mon this year and had nightmares for weeks afterwards.
"I don't know how people can do this and if they deliberately sent the wrong information it makes it 10 times worse."
