Omagh bomb families remember lost loved ones on 24th Anniversary

Northern Ireland today marks the 24th anniversary of the Omagh bomb, which killed 29 people, nine of whom were children as well as a woman pregnant with twins.

More than 200 people were injured in the bombing which happened in the Co Tyrone town on August 15, 1998. The Real IRA attack was the single biggest atrocity of the Troubles and came just months after the signing of the Good Friday Agreement.

The terrorist group telephoned coded warnings before the bomb detonated but didn't specify the location which devastated the town centre. No-one has been convicted for the crime.
