A 34-year-old man was tonight charged with supplying the car used to plant the Real IRA bomb which killed 29 people in Omagh, Co Tyrone, in 1998.
The Police Service of Northern Ireland said the man, from Dundalk, would appear before a magistrate in Enniskillen, Co Fermanagh tomorrow morning.
The man was detained by police in the border town of Newry, Co Down – a few miles north of Dundalk – yesterday.
The PSNI said tonight that the 34-year-old had been charged by detectives from the Omagh bomb investigation team with providing property of use to terrorists.
The charge states that between August 11 and 16, 1998 he supplied the maroon Vauxhall Cavalier car which exploded in Omagh. It caused devastation and the worst loss of life in any single terrorist attack in Northern Ireland during 30 years of violence.
