MAN HELD IN OMAGH PROBE

Man held in Omagh probe

DETECTIVES investigating the Omagh bombing arrested a 34-year-old man yesterday.
He was detained in the south Down area in connection with the Real IRA massacre which claimed 29 lives.
One man is already in custody charged with the murder of the 29 people, but the trial of Sean Hoey, 36, of Molly Road, Jonesborough, south Armagh, is unlikely to go ahead until well into next year.
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 tomorrow with Police Ombudsman Nuala O'Loan, whose officers are carrying out an investigation into certain aspects of the police investigation.
