Saturday August 15th 1998 saw the worst single atrocity of the The Troubles. 29 people were killed in Omagh Town when a misleading bomb warning directed people in the wrong direction towards a car that exploded.

25 years on, the families of that died are still seeking answers. Reports at the time indicated that British military intelligence tracked the movements of those responsible in advance, but did nothing to halt their plans.

Today a religious memorial service will take place in Omagh. On Tuesday, a major event will take place in the Tyrone Town for the 29 innocent people who lost their lives.
