Charges against Omagh bomb suspect dropped after review

Seamus Daly, 45, had been on remand in prison since being charged with the Real IRA atrocity and a range of other terror offences in April 2014. Seven years ago, Mr Daly was one of four men successfully sued for bombing the Tyrone market town when he was found liable for the attack in a landmark civil case taken by some of the bereaved families.

Nobody has ever been convicted of the murders in a criminal court.
