Omagh suspect released
A woman arrested with her husband in connection with the 1998 Omagh atrocity has been released without charge, police said Thursday.
Her husband remains in custody.
On Friday, police will decide whether to charge him or let him go.
On Tuesday, more than 200 police officers and soldiers took part in the arrest of the alleged Real IRA member and his wife in an early morning swoop, in the village of Jonesborough, situated close in the republican stronghold of South Armagh, Northern Ireland.
The Real IRA is a Roman Catholic paramilitary group reportedly opposed to the Northern Ireland peace process.
It has claimed responsibility for the Omagh attack.
The man is being interviewed over “serious terrorist offences” pertaining to the 500lb car bomb that killed 29 people and injured more than 200 bystanders in the County Tyrone town centre on August 15, 1998.
Colm Murphy was convicted last year on conspiracy charges related to the incident.
No one has yet been charged with murder over the bombing.
The Omagh bombing has been described as the worst single atrocity during The Troubles.
Officers have carried further searches on several properties in the south Armagh area, police confirmed.
