Two Arrested Over Omagh Bombing - Ireland

[Pert_UK]

"A man and woman were being questioned today by detectives investigating the Omagh bomb atrocity.

The pair were detained in a major security operation in the Jonesborough area of south Armagh, police said. It is understood that helicopters and up to 200 police officers and soldiers were deployed to seal off the area...

The arrests came as relatives of the Omagh victims urged the Irish Republic's justice minister, Michael McDowell, to allow Garda witnesses to testify in a civil action they are trying to bring against four men they claim were involved in the August 1998 outrage which left 29 people dead, one of them a pregnant mother expecting twins."
