Two 'will post bail for Omagh case man'
TWO people are prepared to lodge £5,000 each to secure the release on bail of a man held responsible for the Omagh bomb atrocity, a court heard yesterday.
A lawyer said suitable addresses had also been acquired for Liam Campbell, 46, of Upper Faughart, Dundalk, Co Louth.
A landmark judgment in a civil action brought by relatives of some of the 29 people killed in the Omagh explosion found "cogent evidence" that Campbell was a member of the Real IRA's Army Council.
A bail application did not proceed after the court heard that his lawyers are considering an appeal against the decision to hold the extradition hearing in Belfast instead of Dublin.
Extradition proceedings were already under way in Dublin when Campbell was arrested in south Armagh in May.
The hearing was adjourned until August 24 when Judge Tom Burgess will set a time for the extradition hearing.
