Attack on peace

Article Abstract:

A 500-pound bomb exploded in Omagh, Northern Ireland in Aug 1998, killing 28 people and injuring more than 200. It was a major setback to the peace process that had given the area a sense of stability after years of fighting. Government officials around the world condemned the terrorists and asked all sides to continue the peace process. The Northern Ireland dispute has claimed the lives of more than 3,000 people since 1969.
