The ongoing inquiry into the 1998 Omagh bombing, carried out by the Real IRA, is hearing evidence from more than 20 “key individuals” during public hearings in Belfast. The inquiry is examining accounts connected to the attack and the events surrounding it as part of efforts to understand what happened.
Both outlets report that the testimony focuses on these central witnesses, but they provide limited additional detail in the provided text. The two accounts are aligned on the scale and focus of the evidence presented so far, framing the hearings as a continuing process in which the inquiry gathers information from individuals it considers significant to its findings. Different outlets may later emphasize particular aspects of the evidence, such as procedural issues or specific lines of questioning, but in the information available here, the common point is the involvement of over 20 key witnesses in the Belfast hearings.
