Omagh Bombing - How the World Reacted to Northern Ireland's Bloodiest Bombing (1998)

On 15 August 1998, the town of Omagh in Northern Ireland's County Tyrone became the scene of an international tragedy when a car bomb exploded, killing 29 people and injuring 220 others. The bomb had been planted by the Real IRA, an Irish nationalist splinter group founded in opposition to the Provisional IRA's engagement with the Northern Ireland peace process. Intending to target Omagh Courthouse, the bomb's planters failed to find a parking space close to their target and subsequently failed to specify the location of the bomb when they warned the police of its existence 40 minutes before the explosion. The bomb consequently detonated in a designated safe area, resulting in the deadliest single incident of the Troubles. Coming 13 weeks after the signing of the Good Friday Agreement, the attack was condemned by Irish nationalists and unionists alike. British Prime Minister Tony Blair and Irish Taoiseach Bertie Ahern were joined in their condemnation by Sinn Fein leader Gerry Adams, a historic first. Adams called for those responsible to reflect on their actions, identify themselves, and end their campaign of violence. The attack was intended to undo the progress toward peace reflected in the landmark Good Friday Agreement. In fact, the scale and senselessness of the bombing, which killed Republicans, Unionists, and international citizens alike, only served to strengthen the commitment to peace on all sides. To mark the 25th anniversary of the Omagh bombing, ITN Archive presents the Channel 4 News special programme broadcast live from Omagh the day after the bombing. Featuring interviews with Tony Blair, Bertie Aherne, Gerry Adams, and Martin McGuiness, and reporting from Alex Thomson, Krishnan Guru-Murthy, and Sheena McDonald, the programme captures the momentary fear that the attack could set back the peace process significantly, with some even discussing the reintroduction of internment. #Omagh #OmaghBombing #NorthernIreland #IRA #ProvisionalIRA #RealIRA #NewIRA #Repubicans #Unionists #GoodFridayAgreement #TonyBlair #BertieAhern #GerryAdams #MartinMcGuinness #SinnFein #DUP #RUC #TheTroubles #GoodFriday #1998 00:00 Introduction 02:06 Krishnan Guru-Murthy report 06:21 William Thompson MP (West Tyrone) interview 09:37 32 County Sovereignty Movement statement 09:58 Alex Thomson report 11:59 Mitchel McLaughlin (Sinn Fein) interview 15:38 Tony Blair statement 16:58 Peter Morgan report 17:14 John Prescott statement 17:29 Bertie Ahern statement 17:47 Gerry Adams statement 19:11 Sheena McDonald and Krishnan Guru-Murthy discussion 20:13 John Hume (SDLP) interview 22:47 Sheena McDonald sign-off To search the ITN Archive collection on Getty Images, follow the link below: https://www.gettyimages.co.uk/footage... 🎥 Subscribe to our YouTube channel (tap the bell icon and stay up to date with all the latest ITN Archive videos!) -    / @itnarchive   🎥 Follow us on Twitter -   / itnarchive   🎥 Like us on Facebook -   / itnarchiveitnp   🎥 Check out our TikTok -   / itnarchive1955
