Ex-British police chief overseeing Omagh bomb review

A former British police chief who probed the role of the RUC Special Branch in the aftermath of the Omagh bombing has been called in to investigate the ongoing failure to convict those behind the atrocity.

Dan Crompton has been overseeing a review ordered by the Policing Board following the acquittal of Sean Hoey in connection with the bombing last year, but his involvement was only disclosed today.
