There remain questions about how authorities in both Ireland and the UK handled the events around the 1998 bombing that killed 29 people.

An independent public inquiry into a 1998 bombing in Omagh in Northern Ireland in which 29 people were killed and 220 injured, the worst atrocity of "The Troubles," opened with testimony from victims' families.

Bereaved families and survivors are expected to gather at the Strule Arts Centre in the Co Tyrone town for the inquiry.

Fernando Blasco Baselga and Rocio Abad Ramos were in Omagh as part of a language exchange group Tributes have been paid to two Spanish victims of the Omagh bombing during the first phase of a public inquiry into the 1998 atrocity.
