Failure to prevent the Omagh bombing: NI judge calls for new investigations.

    In the High Court in Belfast, Mr Justice Horner ruled that it is plausible that the authorities had a real prospect - which they missed - of preventing the Omagh bombing. He also called for new investigations on both sides of the border.


    Why did intelligence services in NI - MI5 and RUC Special Branch - not do everything in their power to prevent the bombing?

    Is there a comparison to be drawn with the failure of the FBI and the CIA to co-operate with each other before the September 11th attacks?

    When the 2000 edition of Panorama and the criminal and civil proceedings have taken place are taken into account, do we know the names of all of the suspects? In December 2007, the PSNI said that a main suspect from Dundalk had died of cancer but, bizarrely, didn't say what his name is.
