MOVING PIECE ON OMAGH BOMBING
Moving piece on Omagh bombing
JOURNALIST Ruth Dudley Edwards, who is writing a book about the Omagh bombing, wrote a profound piece on that notorious event for a national newspaper last week as the case for suing the alleged terrorists opened at Belfast's High Court. She wrote: "The bomb that went off in a country town on a sunny Saturday afternoon killed two babies (and two to be born), three schoolgirls, four schoolboys, six students, four housewives, three shop assistants, a despatch clerk, a shopkeeper, a crane driver, a mechanic, a horticulturalist and a retired accounts clerk." It was a graphic description which moved me to tears.
