Relatives of the victims of the Omagh bombing have expressed outrage at the revelation that the British spy agency MI5 had been warned of a possible attack in the town, but failed to tell the RUC.

MI5 withheld vital anti-terrorism intelligence just months before the Omagh bomb atrocity, it was revealed today.

Omagh bomb victims’ relatives were meeting their lawyers this week to ensure the legal action against the men suspected of the atrocity was on course.

The Government was tonight alleged to have done a deal with the Real IRA group behind the Omagh bomb outrage to get a ceasefire by the terror group.

The terrorist group behind the Omagh bombing made several attempts to trace an FBI agent preparing to give evidence against its alleged leader, a top garda told Dublin's Special Criminal court today.

FAMILIES of people killed in the Omagh bomb massacre yesterday remembered their dead and they also remembered the victims of last year's September 11 terror atrocities in the United States.
