LONDON — A judge on Thursday acquitted the only man charged with murder in Northern Ireland’s deadliest terrorist attack, the 1998 car bombing that killed 29 people in the town of Omagh.
Judge Reginald Weir, who heard the case without a jury, said he was not convinced beyond a reasonable doubt that Sean Hoey, 38, was the bombmaker behind the attack carried out by the dissident Irish Republican Army group, the Real IRA.
The Aug. 15, 1998, bomb killed mostly women and children.
