OMAGH SUSPECT QUIZZED
Omagh suspect quizzed
DETECTIVES investigating the Omagh bombing were last night continuing to question a 34-year-old man. The suspect was arrested yesterday in Newry, Co Down, by officers probing the August 1998 bomb and is being questioned about serious offences.
He is believed to be from Dundalk.
A police spokeswoman was last night unable to give any further details.
It comes just days after senior officers stressed the investigation into the Real IRA attack on the Co Tyrone market town, which killed 29 people and unborn twins, was still alive.
Around 500 lines of inquiry have still to be checked out by detectives from the PSNI and Gardai.
