The group that did the bombing in Omagh were not part of the PIRA, the most powerful of the groups. The Real IRA was a splinter group...a breakaway from the main body. The only link between them is the name. Nothing more. The PIRA threatened to take action against the Real IRA because of their attack in Omagh. When I read of the decommissioning of the IRA I often wonder when we will hear Paisley demanding that the UDA, UFF and UDR do the same. I distinctly recall the Shankhill butcher...yet here in the US nobody knows who the terror groups are on the protestant side.
