A man questioned today about the Omagh bomb massacre was later released without charge, police said tonight.
It was the second time the 37-year-old from south Armagh had been detained for questioning over the August 1998 attack. But after being held for several hours at Antrim he was freed.
Twenty-nine people, including a woman pregnant with twins, were killed in the no-warning Real IRA car bombing in the Tyrone town. More than 300 other people were injured.
Sean Gerard Hoey, 35, also from South Armagh, is due to be charged with the 29 murders later this month. Hoey, of Molly Road, Jonesborough, is expected to appear at a court in Craigavon, Co Armagh, for a remand hearing on Thursday.
