Blair rules out amnesty for Omagh bombers

Relatives of the victims of the Omagh bombings today said they had received assurances from British Prime Minister Tony Blair that no one connected with the 1998 atrocity would be granted an amnesty, even if they are members of Sinn Féin or the IRA.

Representatives of the 29 victims and those injured in the blast held talks lasting 45 minutes with Mr Blair at 10 Downing Street to press their case for a full cross-border public inquiry.
