Times Wire Reports
Four members of an Irish Republican Army splinter group were found responsible for the worst terrorist attack in Northern Ireland after a landmark civil case brought by the families of the 29 people killed in the Omagh bombing.
The court determined that the men and the Real IRA organization to which they belonged were responsible for the 1998 bombing.
The verdict was like “a line drawn in the sand,” said Michael Gallagher, whose son died in the bombing. He called the judgment a “tremendous moral victory for the families.”
