Police go to court over Omagh bombing report

Police in Northern Ireland go to court today in a bid to overturn the damning report into their handling of the Omagh bomb investigation by Police Ombudsman Nuala O’Loan.

The Police Association, which represents senior officers and rank and file members of the Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI), is taking the High Court action in Belfast to try to overturn the report she produced in December 2001.
