Adams to seek legal advice over Omagh

Sinn Fein leader, Gerry Adams, says he does not think he has any important evidence to give lawyers acting for the relatives of the victims of the Omagh bombing.

Sinn Fein leader, Gerry Adams, says he does not think he has any important evidence to give lawyers acting for the relatives of the victims of the Omagh bombing.

Mr Adams and four other republicans have been subpoenaed by some of the victim's relatives to give evidence in the civil compensation action being taken.

He says he will take legal advice on the issue. "I have no evidence to offer. Obviously I will have to seek legal advice when I receive this subpoena. I do know there are those who do have evidence.

The Special Branch had fore notice of the bombing. Members and elements of British intelligence who were advised by British agents and others of information about this bombing. I just wonder have they received subpoenas as well. I just wonder what this is about."
