Man held over Omagh is released
A man questioned yesterday about the Omagh bombing was later released without charge, the PSNI said last night.
It was the second time the 37-year-old from south Armagh had been detained over the August 1998 attack. After being held for several hours at Antrim he was freed.
Twenty-nine people were killed in the no-warning Real IRA car bombing in the Tyrone town.
Sean Gerard Hoey (35), also from south Armagh, is due to be charged with the 29 murders later this month. Mr Hoey, Molly Road, Jonesborough, is expected to appear at a court in Craigavon, Co Armagh, for a remand hearing on Thursday.
