PRIME MINISTER'S RENEW APPEAL FOR HELP TO CATCH BOMBERS
Prime Minister's renew appeal for help to catch bombers
OMAGH town has been high on the political agenda once again, with the launch of a renewed plea from the British and Irish Prime Minister's for information that would bring the Omagh Bombers to justice.
The two premiers used the second anniversary of the Omagh bomb to launch the refreshed information plea.
In the rejuvenated joint campaign, Tony Blair and Bertie Ahern said that they regretted more charges had not been brought against those responsible for the tragedy which claimed the lives of twenty-nine people and unborn twins.
Both political leaders insisted that both Governments were determined to prevent those "still bent on violence from pursuing their evil plans."
"Despite intensive investigation on both sides of the border that has been a model of co-operation between the RUC and the Garda, it remains a matter of regret that there has not yet been more charges," the Prime Minister's statement said.
The statement from the leaders continued: "Justice demands that, all these responsible for the horror that was Omagh are brought before the courts and to that end we call on anyone with fresh information about the atrocity to come forward."
The statement reiterated the point that both Governments were resolute in their commitment to prevent those still bent on violence form pursuing their evil plans.
"This is what society especially those who have suffered so grievously in Omagh and elsewhere, had a fundamental right to expect," said the joint appeal.
Both Prime Ministers said that their thoughts and prayers were with those still struggling to cope with the legacy of the explosion, which occurred on August 15th 1998.
