Omagh bomb suspects challenge legal action against them

Lawyers representing Liam Campbell and Michael McKevitt lodged papers with the High Court in Belfast declaring their intention to defend themselves.

The August 1998 bombing killed 29 people, including a woman heavily pregnant with twins. Nobody has been charged with any of the murders. The hearing is expected to go ahead next year once all the paperwork is completed.
