Omagh still united in grief but fractured by search for justice

Court ruling on 1998 bombing shows how town is divided over whether to push for a public inquiry

Amid the unfathomable grief unleashed by the Omagh bomb - the single worst atrocity of the Troubles - the bereaved and injured found purpose, even comfort, in a joint enterprise: a search for truth and justice.

Twenty-nine people died and hundreds were wounded when the Real IRA detonated a car bomb in the County Tyrone market town on 15 August 1998, four months after the Good Friday agreement supposedly drew a line under Northern Ireland's conflict.
