The man in court facing charges in relation to the Omagh bombing of 1998 where 31 people were killed has failed to have scientific evidence against him thrown out. Sean Gerard Hoey, from South Armagh (aren't they all?), had his defence lawyers object to DNA evidence linking him to three other bomb attacks. Their move to have the evidence dismissed failed yesterday. A voice analysis expert also said she believed that the telephone warning for the bomb in Banbridge just weeks before (in which the same codeword was used as the one for the Omagh bomb) was the same voice as Mr Hoey's, recorded during police interviews.

It's been 7 years so far and there's been nobody caught. I'm sure I'm not alone in hoping they've got the right man in the dock (and can prove it).
