Arrested couple quizzed about Omagh bombing

TWO hundred police and soldiers stormed a south Armagh village early yesterday and arrested a man and a woman for questioning about the 1998 Omagh bombing.

Sources close to the investigation said the arrests were significant but there was little official comment.

It is understood they are a husband and wife, originally from south of the border, who were visiting the village of Jonesborough when arrested. They can be held for up to seven days.
