United Kingdom | Some family members of the victims initiated a civil action in November against individuals identified as suspects in a documentary prepared by the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC). In December the police ombudsman for Northern Ireland released a report on the Omagh bombing, which charged that the "victims, their families, and officers of the RUC [PSNI] have been let down by defective leadership, poor judgment and a lack of urgency." The report criticized inadequate information sharing within the police and concluded that it will never be known whether the bombing could have been prevented if the police had acted differently in response to intelligence information received prior to the tragedy.
