DETECTIVES STUDYING FORENSIC EVIDENCE

Detectives studying forensic evidence

THE net was closing in on the Omagh bombers today as detectives studied forensic and other evidence pouring into their incident centre. Photographs of the car used in the attack were broadcast in a television appeal which detectives hoped would prompt a massive response.
And security chiefs confirmed they were examining two phone boxes believed to have been used by the bombers to make their warning calls.
The call boxes, at Silverbridge, near Fork-hill in south Armagh, were sealed off soon after the bombing and then flown by helicopter to Seapark forensic laboratory near Carrickfergus, Co Antrim.
"We are hammering things as hard as we can, said Detective Chief Superintendent Eric Anderson, who is heading the investigation.
He confirmed: "Two phone boxes have been taken away and are being looked at."
