Omagh bomb: Seamus Daly charged with 29 murders

Twenty-nine people, including a woman pregnant with twins, were killed in the 1998 attack

A man has been charged with the murders of 29 people who were killed in the 1998 Omagh bomb.
The Real IRA attack was the worst single atrocity of the Troubles in Northern Ireland. The victims included woman who was pregnant with twins.
Seamus Daly, 43, from Culloville in County Monaghan, was arrested on Monday in Newry, County Down.
He was one of four men ordered to pay more than £1.5m in damages to the victims' families in a civil case.
No-one has ever been convicted of carrying out the bombing in a criminal court.
However, relatives of some of the victims brought a civil action against five men they claimed were responsible, including Seamus Daly.
The court ruled that he and three of the others were responsible, and they were later ordered to pay more than £1.5m in damages.
Seamus Daly has always denied any involvement in the bombing.
