Man Charged With Stealing Omagh Bomb Car
By Associated Press

February 8 2005, 8:59 PM EST

BELFAST, Northern Ireland -- Police charged a 34-year-old man Tuesday with involvement in the 1998 car-bombing in Omagh that killed 29 people, Northern Ireland's deadliest terrorist attack.
Police arrested the suspect in the border town of Newry and charged him with stealing the car that IRA dissidents used for the bombing. Police withheld his name pending his arraignment Wednesday.
He is the third person to face charges stemming from the attack. A dissident group nicknamed the Real IRA claimed responsibility.
Sean Hoey, 35, is still awaiting trial in Northern Ireland following his 2003 arrest on 20 charges, including one that he supplied the power-timer unit used in the Omagh bomb.
In the Irish Republic, where the IRA dissidents are largely based, just one man has been charged in connection with the Omagh attack. Dundalk businessman Colm Murphy, 52, was freed on appeal last month after serving two years of his 14-year sentence for supplying cell phones used by the bombers.
Victims' relatives remain incensed that police in both parts of Ireland have failed to bring murder charges against anyone.
