Fourteen people linked to evidential activity at time of Omagh bomb, inquiry told
The bombing exploded during a busy Saturday in Omagh, County Tyrone in 1998
Fourteen people have been linked to evidential activity in the days leading up to and on the day of the Omagh bombing, the inquiry into the explosion has heard.
Paul Greaney KC outlined the "working hypothesis" of the inquiry when it resumed its latest phase on Monday.
In a statement to the inquiry, sitting at Bradford Court in Belfast, he named Seamus McKenna, Seamus Daly and Colm Murphy as among the 14.
Twenty-nine people, including a woman pregnant with twins, died in the bombing in the County Tyrone town on 15 August 1998 - the biggest single atrocity in the Troubles.
In 2009, a judge ruled that four men - Michael McKevitt, Liam Campbell, Colm Murphy and Seamus Daly were all liable for the Omagh bomb.
A fifth man, Seamus McKenna, was acquitted in the civil action and later died in a roofing accident in 2013.
On Monday, Greaney told the inquiry: "The evidence suggests Colm Murphy sat like a spider in the centre of the web of the plan to detonate a bomb in Omagh".
Referring to the civil case, Greaney said: "The fact Seamus McKenna was not found liable is not an outcome which binds this inquiry. Our working hypothesis is that, contrary to that finding, he played a key role".
The use of telecommunications is a key part of the evidence in front of the inquiry and some of the most frequently referred to mobile phones have been assigned colours for ease of following their links.
