THE Omagh bomb inquiry team is questioning a 34-year-old man in relation to the 1998 Real IRA massacre.
A police spokesman confirmed he was arrested in the south Down area yesterday morning.
One man is already in custody in connection with the atrocity which claimed 29 lives.
Sean Gerard Hoey (35), an unemployed electrician from Molly Road, Jonesborough, south Armagh man is charged with 29 counts of murder.
He is also charged with a number of other offences relating to the blast.
In September, he was committed for trial on 58 charges.
Relatives of the dead are to meet Prime Minister Tony Blair at Downing Street next Tuesday.
It will be the first time they have met since the atrocity in August 1998.
They are also having a meeting on Thursday with the Northern Ireland Police Ombudsman Nuala O'Loan.
