Opposition: Time to listen to Omagh relatives

The two leading Opposition parties tonight called for a cross-border inquiry into the Omagh bombing following revelations that MI5 withheld vital anti-terrorism intelligence.

The British domestic secret service agency received a tip-off that dissident republicans were targeting Omagh or Derry for a major bombing attack and used t to help to thwart a bomb plot at the time of the signing of the Good Friday Agreeent in April 1998.
