The Omagh Bombing

August 15, 1998 · Omagh, County Tyrone Theater

The war's deadliest single attack backfires, cementing support for the peace.

August 15, 1998

Dissident republicans of the 'Real IRA,' opposed to the peace agreement, detonated a car bomb in the crowded market town of Omagh, killing 29 people and two unborn children and injuring hundreds — the single deadliest attack of the entire Troubles, committed months after the peace deal was signed.
