Police 'withheld information from Omagh detectives'

Police intelligence officers withheld some information from detectives investigating the Omagh bombing in which 29 people were killed, a new probe has found.

Even though it could not have prevented the Real IRA attack on Omagh 16 years ago, the failure to disseminate the data - telephone numbers - detracted vital resources from the initial investigation, the Police Ombudsman said.
