| #1 Republicans have never admitted responsibility, mainly because the bombings exacted such an appalling civilian death toll by attacking a peaceful village which contained nothing that could be described as a "military target". Warnings about the car bombs were reportedly made, but received too late. The arrests were welcomed by the parents of nine-year-old Kathryn Eakin, the youngest victim. Her mother, Merle Eakin, said: "It is early days yet and we have to see what comes of it. It is obviously a relief after all these years, but we will have to wait and see." Good, better late than never. It's good to know that there are dedicated police and other agencys who have resolutely pursued these killers of innocents. More court work left to be done..may the perps rot in hell. |
