Omagh families seek meeting with British spy chief

RELATIVES of the Omagh bomb victims are seeking talks with the head of MI5.

They have asked Dame Eliza Manningham-Buller for a meeting in a bid to obtain new details of the intelligence agency’s role in exposing Michael McKevitt, leader of the Real IRA which carried out the atrocity.

FBI agent David Rupert, a key witness in the 2003 Dublin trial in which McKevitt, 55, was convicted of directing terrorism at the time of Omagh, worked inside the dissident republican terror organisation for MI5.
