Two found liable for Omagh bomb

Relatives of Omagh bomb victims last night vowed to pursue the £1.6m (€1.8m) in damages that the men found liable for the attack have been ordered to pay.

Their pledge came after two republicans were ruled responsible for the 1998 atrocity at the close of a landmark civil case in Belfast High Court.

The families said they had also not given up on securing a criminal conviction for the bombing that killed 29 people, including a woman pregnant with twins.
