Former US president Mr Bill Clinton met survivors and victims' relatives of the Omagh bombing today.
He held a private meeting with families on the outskirts of the town on his way to have a new peace project named after him because of his work for the peace process in Northern Ireland.
Some of the relatives he met at the Ulster American Folk park are involved in a fundraising campaign to take a civil court action against the men suspected of involvement in the August l998 bombing which left 29 people dead.
Mr Clinton pledged his backing to the court action.
"I'll do what I can to support you," he told Mr Michael Gallagher, whose son Aidan was among the 29 people killed in the "Real IRA" attack in August 1998.
Mr Clinton, accompanied by daughter Chelsea, later travelled to Enniskillen, Co Fermanagh, location for a new William Jefferson Clinton international peace centre.
It is close to the town's cenotaph where 11 people were killed in the l987 Remembrance Day bombing by the IRA.
Mr Clinton was also due to meet survivors and victims' relatives of that bombing.
Tonight, in Belfast, Mr Clinton is to be awarded an honorary degree by Queen's University, again for his work in the peace process.
Yesterday Mr Clinton told a crowd of 3,000 in Derry to "look to the far side of revenge" and remain behind the 1998 accord that set up the devolved power-sharing government in Belfast.
He said: "I came here to reaffirm my beliefs that the Good Friday Accord is still the right path to the future for peace and reconciliation."
