Mandelson backs campaign to sue Omagh bombers

Former Northern Ireland Secretary Peter Mandelson is donating £10,000 towards a campaign to sue the alleged perpetrators of the Omagh bombing atrocity, it was confirmed today.

Relatives of those killed in the explosion said Mr Mandelson, who resigned from the Government last month, was handing over the fees paid by national newspapers for articles explaining his handling of the Hinduja passports affair.
