Kinahan snr faces no charges; Omagh bombing inquiry resumes; and unused military vehicles

Kinahan cartel founder Christy Kinahan Snr is unlikely to face criminal charges unless new information emerges, The Irish Times has established.Dissident republican Colm Murphy “sat like a spider at the centre of the web of the plan to detonate a bomb in Omagh”, the inquiry into the 1998 atrocity was told on Monday. The Irish Times has heard from victims of racial attacks in Belfast of how they “feared” for their lives as mobs attacked their homes. Some armoured vehicles purchased by the Defence Forces recorded no mileage for years, newly released figures show.
