Flanagan to defend Omagh bomb probe
The row between Ronnie Flanagan and Police Ombudsman Nuala O’Loan over the investigation into the Omagh bomb was set to intensify today as the Chief Constable prepared to issue a robust defence of his officers.
Mr Flanagan was expected to launch a fierce fightback against the Ombudsman probe into his officers’ investigation of the Real IRA bomb which killed 29 people in the Co Tyrone town in August 1998.
