NOTHING IS WORTH THIS GRIEF
Nothing is worth this grief
A FATHER-of-three whose wife was killed in the bomb outrage said yesterday: "There's not a blade of grass in this country worth this."
Kevin Skelton, 43, found wife Philomena's lifeless body in a shop destroyed by the blast.
Kevin, who was cut by flying glass, said: "We will all be putting our loved ones into the same place, it doesn't matter what religion you are.
"And the sooner them gangsters get that into their heads. . .
"But the way they are carrying on at the minute, slaughtering innocent people, they might as well just put us all into a street and come up and shoot us.
"How much more have we to suffer? We've suffered for 30 years. It's time to stop it. Say a prayer for us."
The lorry driver told how he frantically searched for a pulse when he saw Philomena, 39, lying in the rubble.
His youngest daughter, Shona, 13, suffered a fractured jaw and will need plastic surgery.
Kevin, who lives in Drumquin, eight miles from Omagh, added: "The bastards that done that call themselves Irishmen.
"Words wouldn't explain what them boys are, how anybody could do that."
