PANORAMA "WHO BOMBED OMAGH ?" RECORDED FROM TRANSMISSION: BBC-1 DATE: 09:10:2000 ........................................................................ Omagh town centre 15th August 1998 [Reconstruction] JOHN WARE On a Saturday afternoon two years ago, a red Vauxhall parked in the centre of Omagh. Inside were two men and up to 500lbs of explosives. After arming the bomb the two men walked away and melted into the crowd. Waiting nearby was a getaway car. These men, and the many more who helped them, were responsible for the single worst bombing atrocity of the Irish troubles. Their legacy is carnage, carnage that was indiscriminate in every way. Twenty-nine men, women, children and babies were killed. The bombers were former members of the provisional IRA who opposed their ceasefire. They call themselves 'The Real IRA'. V/O TONY BLAIR The two governments will do everything that is possible within their power to hunt down those responsible for this outrage. These people will never win. Democracy will triumph over evil. V/O BERTIE AHEARN ...but these evil people, these mindless people who do not care about the lives of this generation and future generations, but we will defeat them. WARE The scale of the joint police investigation on both sides of the border is unprecedented, but two years on none of the culprits is behind bars. SIR RONNIE FLANAGAN CHIEF CONSTABLE, RUC Sadly up to this point we haven't been able to charge anyone with this terrible atrocity. But we'll not rest until we do. We have built what we think is a very detailed intelligence picture. We think we know who carried out this atrocity. We think we know how they carried it out. But intelligence is one thing, evidence that a court will accept is absolutely another thing. We need yet more public support. We get that public support - and we've had a lot of it - but we need the final pieces fitted into this jigsaw in terms of evidence rather than in terms of intelligence, but our intelligence is very precise. WARE It's likely that only witnesses can provide the final pieces of this jigsaw. Several have already given vital evidence to the police, but they're too frightened to give evidence in court. The absence of prosecutions is an increasing burden for the families of the Omagh bomb. BERNIE DOHERTY The time's gone on now. I'm getting more.. when I think about it more... so angry to think that they well they murdered Oran, like they murdered him, and all those innocent people. And to me I think why shouldn't they pay for what they done, you know, why should they get off with it? JOHN WARE Despite the fact that the police, on both sides of the Irish border, know the identities of those they believed to have been the bombers, there is no immediate prospect of charges. So what is the evidence against them? For the past few months Panorama has been investigating the Omagh bombing. As we shall show, there are a number of individuals who live along the border who have yet to provide explanations for their movements on the day of the bombing. [Reconstruction] Two days before the bombing a red Vauxhall Cavalier, left outside a block of flats in Carrickmacross, County Monaghan, was stolen. It was taken by an ordinary car thief, but this was no ordinary car theft. The car had been stolen to order by 'The Real IRA'. Somewhere in what's known as 'bandit country', the border area straddling South Armagh with the Irish Republic, the car was hidden for two days and loaded with a bomb. [Reconstruction] Supplying and assembling the bomb's components would have involved a chain of people. Someone made the false plates fitted to the bomb car. The power unit was housed in a lunch box bought over the counter. It's construction was identical to eleven previous bombs. Five hundred pounds of farm fertilizer was used as explosive. Steel tubing had been machine tooled containing high explosive to boost the bomb to maximum effect. To trigger the bomb, a detonator was inserted and this was connected to the power unit by wire running from the boot to the front passenger seat. According to the Irish Police, the man who admitted stealing the bomb car said he'd been asked to by an intermediary. Telephone records show that in the early hours when the car was stolen, the thief contacted this intermediary. Immediately that conversation ended, the intermediary made three calls traced to a builder who lives in this remote farmhouse in Culloville, a Republican stronghold. The builder is this man, 30 year old Seamus Daly, one of many Republican dissenters who live in this part of bandit country. Daly has already been arrested twice by the Irish police but was released after he said nothing. [Reconstruction] On the morning of the Omagh bombing the bomb car was taken from its hideout and driven north. The police believe it travelled in convoy with a scout car ahead of it leading it to its destination and checking the route was clear of police and soldiers. That Saturday, in Buncrana, County Donegal, fifty miles north of Omagh, a young boy was pleading with his mother to let him go on a trip to Omagh with friends. His name was Oran Doherty. ORAN DOHERTY [Photograph] Aged 8 BERNIE DOHERTY I was to waken him at nine and I wakened up at nine and I remember thinking, oh maybe I'll just let him lie, you know, and not bother waking him. And then I thought to myself, no, that wouldn't be fair on him because he was really looking forward to going and he hadn't got anywhere all summer. They were just so excited and they were so carefree going away, and I always stood and watched the children till they went out of sight.. you know, always just stood watching them, and that's the last thing I remember about Oran as the four boys.. there was four of them, and the Spanish student as well, just walking down the road, talking away to each other. You know, I think I'm still waiting on Oran home to tell me about his trip that day, just still be waiting because he didn't come home.. you know. [Reconstruction] WARE As the bomb car and the scout car headed for the border, the police believe they communicated by mobile phone. This is based on an analysis of calls made in the hours before, during and after the bombing. This analysis may prove to be the key to the Omagh bomb investigation. Mobile calls are relayed through a network of masts. The number of the phone making the call and the number of the phone receiving it are logged, as is the time and duration of the call. The signal from a mobile telephone is usually routed through the mast nearest to it. Crucially, a record is kept of the location of the mast transmitting the call and the location of the mast receiving it. In this way it is possible to keep track of the movements of a mobile telephone sometimes down to two or three miles. [Reconstruction] There are two mobile phones whose records on the day of the bombing are of special interest. Their movements have been tracked more from the Irish Republic to Omagh and back again. This was at a time consistent with the bombing and along a route consistent with the one the bomb car could have taken. One of these two phones belonged to this man, Colin Murphy, a wealthy builder. He's also a seasoned terrorist. Once he smuggled guns for the provisional IRA. Today he's opposed to their ceasefire. The other phone which travelled north was normally used by Murphy's foreman. Murphy was arrested by the Irish police and interviewed. Colin Murphy is said to have told them that on the eve of the Omagh bombing he had a rendezvous at this bar in the border town of Dundalk. The Emerald is owned by Murphy and it's not a place for strangers. It's a haunt popular with Republican dissidents. According to the police, Murphy said he handed over both his mobile and his foreman's mobile to another builder. That builder was Seamus Daly, the man who records show had been contacted after the bomb car was stolen. When Murphy was first asked why he handed over the mobiles, he's alleged to have said "What can I say? I could finish out at the border with a hole in my head." Later he's said to have told the police he did know the mobiles were to be used to move bombs. We spotted Colin Murphy arriving at this building in Dundalk which is where we caught up with him. WARE Mr Murphy. COLIN MURPHY Yes? WARE My name is John Ware and I work for the BBC television programme Panorama and I want to talk to you about the Omagh bombing. MURPHY Right. WARE Okay? I wonder if you could explain to me why it is that you gave your mobile telephone and the mobile telephone of your foreman to Seamus Daly on the eve of the Omagh bombing? MURPHY I didn't give my phone to anybody. WARE Well the police say that you admitted to them that you did. MURPHY Well they can say that. Well I didn't admit. WARE You didn't? MURPHY I didn't admit. WARE You didn't. MURPHY No. WARE How is it that these phones.. can you explain how these phones... MURPHY I can't explain anything. WARE How these phones became to be located in the Omagh area at the time the bomb car was parked on the day of the Omagh bombing. Can you explain that? MURPHY No I cannot. WARE Do you think the Omagh bombing was an atrocity or not? MURPHY A terrible happening. WARE "A terrible happening" was also what Murphy is said to have told the police. The loss of innocent lives, he said, was "a disaster". On the day of the Omagh bombing, the first communication from one of the mobiles allegedly handed over to Seamus Daly was picked up from this mast south of the border at Castleblaney. [Reconstruction] The time was 12.41. There was a second call at 1.13. Both calls were from this first phone. There were no return calls. This would fit with a mobile and a scout car relaying short messages to a second mobile in a bomb car following behind. ADRIAN GALLAGHER [Photograph] Aged 21 MICHAEL GALLAGHER He never normally went into the town. He went in to buy a pair of jeans and a pair of boots, and he had planned on only being in for a very short time. WARE What sort of a son was he? MICHAEL GALLAGHER Physically he was 6ft 2. He was an extremely healthy young person. He had a lot of healthy interests that teenagers have. He enjoyed music. His life was cars. He enjoyed a home life. He was somebody that was always willing to help. I don't know, you just felt that when we were a complete family that we could have done anything. [Reconstruction] WARE At 1.29 on the afternoon of the Omagh bombing came another call from the first mobile. This was relayed through this mast at the border crossing at Aughnacloy. This call fits with a scout car giving instructions to a bomb car which of the several border roads was safe to cross. Meanwhile, in Omagh, the streets thronged with shoppers. There was real hope in the air. The Good Friday Peace Agreement had been signed. The IRA ceasefire was holding. By 2pm the first mobile had moved yet further north and was in the Omagh area. We know this because at three minutes to two a fourth call from the first mobile the second mobile was relayed through a mast in Omagh. This would fit with the scout car telling the bomb car it was safe to come on in. ALAN RADFORD [Photograph] Aged 16 MARION RADFORD Me and Alan went to town every Saturday but the night before I went into his room and he said "Mum, I'm not going to town tomorrow." And he said it in a kind of a depressed tone of voice which was unusual for Alan. And I thought 'he's not well, he's not the same'. So I walked out the room and I went back in and had a look at him, you know, and I thought there's definitely something wrong with Alan. And I says "Why do you not want to go to town?" and he says "Oh I just don't want to go tomorrow." So the next day it was really me that asked him to go to the town, you know. [Reconstruction] WARE At 2.18 a Vauxhall Cavalier, like the bomb car, was filmed by CCTV passing this petrol station in Omagh. It's front suspension was raised, probably because of a heavy load in the boot. A minute later the second mobile called the first mobile. Again, this would fit with the bomb car telling the scout car it was about to park. The time 2.19 agrees precisely with when a witness claims to have seen a red Vauxhall Cavalier crossing a junction to where the bomb car was parked. It was at this point that its lethal cargo was armed. Another witness was struck by just how gingerly the passenger seemed to close the door. The bomb car's passenger and driver were last seen heading down this path to the car park of a local store. Almost certainly they made their getaway with their friends in the scout car. There were no further calls between the two mobiles which would fit with them now being in the same car. ESTHER GIBSON [Photograph] Aged 36 ELIZABETH GIBSON She was a beautiful girl, just a girl that I'll never be.. or no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't be as nice a girl as Esther. She was so religious. She was the odd one out in our family but in a good way. That morning me and Esther fell out and it's the kind of thing that I've learnt to live with it now. She took too long in the shower for my liking and there was a bit of a ruckus but... sisters. Just put it down to sisters arguing and fighting, and that was the last I seen of Esther. She went out to go down to Omagh to buy flowers for the church. [South Armagh] [McGeough's Crossroads - Reconstruction] WARE As the bombers headed back towards the border the first of three warning calls was made from a phone box in South Armagh to the newsroom of Ulster Television in Belfast. OPERATOR Newsroom. CALLER There's a bomb in Omagh. It's no Main Street. It's 500lb. OPERATOR What was that? CALLER The code word is 'Martha Pope. OPERATOR Say again. CALLER Martha Pope. This is Oglaigh Nah Eirann.. WARE Two other warnings came in quick succession. In all three the caller signed off with the words 'Martha Pope' which was then the authentic codeword for the Real IRA. So who made these calls? [Loyes Crossroads - Reconstruction] The final warning was made from this phone box, also in the Newry area at 2:31. Thirty seconds earlier someone holding a mobile picked up a text message, this mobile has also been located in the same area as the phone box. Could whoever received that text message also have then made the final warning call? Both call boxes involved in the warnings were removed for examination by forensic scientists. Every inch of them and every single coin in them was fingerprinted in an attempt to discover who made the warning calls. The RUC drew a blank, there are however other clues as to the identity of someone involved in relaying the calls. The mobile that received the text message just before the bomb warning call was registered to the man who runs this company. [Reconstruction] Oliver Traynor has a flourishing business selling plastic window frames, the virtues of which he tried to sell us when we filmed him covertly. When Mr Traynor was questioned by the Irish police he said the mobile in question had gone missing and he didn't know who'd had it on the day of the bombing so he was released. However, Oliver Traynor's denial that he knew where his missing mobile went is odd, to say the least. Odd because cell phone records show that another mobile belonging to Mr Traynor made two calls to his missing mobile shortly before the bomb exploded so if it was Mr Traynor who made these calls he'd surely have known to whom he was speaking. [30th April 1998] What's more, this was not the first Real IRA bombing where Mr Traynor's mobiles had been active. Records show no fewer than 50 calls were made from them around the time of bomb attacks on Lisburn and Newry but the authorities believe that on its own this pattern of calls is insufficient to bring charges. MR TRAINOR [Addressing Meeting] We, as Irish Republicans, have challenged the legitimacy of continued British interference in Irish affairs. WARE Mr Traynor is reputedly linked to the 32 County Sovereignty Committee, the political wing of the Real IRA. [Reconstruction] We secretly filmed the participants of their first meeting after Omagh, one is said to have had Oliver Traynor's mobile on the evening of the bombing but witnesses told the police he always rang the mobile to contact this man. The man's name is Liam Campbell. He's a neighbour of Oliver Traynor and, according to intelligence sources, he's the so called officer commanding the Real IRA. Not surprisingly the authorities fear the witness wouldn't give evidence in court. So we wanted to ask Mr Campbell if he did have Mr Traynor's mobile on the day of the Omagh bombing. Liam Campbell lives in a comfortable house just a few yards inside the Irish Republic. When we arrived there were signs of family life everywhere but of Mr Campbell there was no sign. So we went to the workshop of his friend Oliver Traynor but he saw us coming and moved quickly to pull down the shutters. Mr Traynor, I'd like to speak to you, I'm from the BBC, I'm from Panorama and I want to ask you some questions about the Omagh bombing. One of the questions I want to ask you, Mr Traynor, is did you lend your mobile phone to anyone on August 15th 1998? The families of the Omagh bombing would like answers to these questions Mr Traynor. Are you going to come out and answer them or are you going to stay inside? We soon found an explanation for the locked doors at Mr Campbell's house. Next to his van was Mr Campbell's Audi, it appears he'd locked himself in with his neighbour. To whom did you lend your mobile phone on August 15th 1998? Was it Mr Liam Campbell? Can you tell me why your telephone appears to have been used in several other bombings? We followed up our visit with letters to Mr Campbell and Mr Traynor asking detailed questions but they didn't answer them accept to deny any involvement in the Omagh bombing. MENA SKELTON [Photograph] Aged 39 KEVIN SKELTON My wife was a very quiet home person. She used to go shopping once a week into Omagh and it was get in and get the shopping done and get home as quick as you can and on that particular day... I tortured myself about it for a month after it, you know, if I hadn't of come home early she wouldn't have been in Omagh that day, if I'd have got up and went to my work at the time I should have done we wouldn't have been in Omagh that day. [Reconstruction] WARE On the day of the bombing, the last call from one of the mobiles that had been in Omagh was at 2:38pm, the signal was routed through a mast south of Omagh in Ballygawley so the mobile phone was moving south towards the border, that fits from the call coming from the getaway car. Once again the call was to the mobile said to have been held by Liam Campbell the alleged OC of the Real IRA, perhaps the getaway car was checking that the warning calls had been made. [Reconstruction] Actual RUC recording Zero Oscar 7 Zero from Oscar. Go short of the courthouse I would say, I would suggest well short of the courthouse. There's a bomb warning in from about three different locations. Take a wander up checking for cars that seem to me well laden down. It's supposed to be 500lbs. WARE The bomb warnings were unclear. This was probably deliberate to stop the bomb being defused. The warnings mentioned the courthouse and Main Street, there is no Main Street in Omagh. The police began moving people as far away from the courthouse as they could. Unwittingly they were moving people ever closer to the bomb. SKELTON I think Trisha said to her mummy, come on, we'll go home. We laughed at them, you know, it's only a bomb scare it'll be over in minutes. Nobody thought there was one and I parked my car around John's car park and then when we were in Kelly's a policeman came in and he asked us to move on ahead further down Market Street. Instead of that we were being moved right in on top of it. WARE On top of the bomb? SKELTON On top of the bomb. WARE The bomb car's southern Irish plates had been replaced with northern ones so police checks wouldn't have shown it was stolen. This picture graphically illustrates how little suspicion the car attracted. It was taken by a Spanish tourist five minutes before the bomb exploded. She died as did several others in the picture. At 3pm the bus carrying 8 year old Oran Doherty and his friends arrived in Omagh, the boys had been having their lunch. BERNIE DOHERTY Oran decided they would buy one chicken and share it between them and they had ice cream and all that so it seems they were enjoying themselves anyway and Oran, I remember Emit told one of my sisters that he remembers... the last words he remembers Oran saying was "This chicken's lovely". To think that he was so... he was so full of life and all, you know, just minutes before he died even. To think... it breaks my heart thinking about them getting out of that bus in Omagh down at the depot in Omagh not knowing what they were walking into their deaths. You know, like people say to me "Sure wasn't it all the better he didn't know", and so it was. But at the same time it's so hard, they were so innocent, you know, not realising the danger they were in. [Reconstruction] Actual RUC recording [Explosion] MARION RADFORD I remember the eeriness, this darkness just come over the place and everything was hazy and then I remember hearing screams and I had a bit of glass, it was a big bit in the back of my head and I pulled it out, I thought 'I'm dying'. SKELTON I went over to the window at what was left of the window, outside the shop and I found the wife the wife lying face down in the rubble. I checked for a pulse, I panicked... I done everything. I headed out the door and I don't know who the gentleman was but he was walking down the far side of the street and he shouts over he said "Do you have a wee ginger haired girl" and the words I said to him was "I had" for I was convinced she was dead, he said "No, she's in hospital". CAPTAIN SAM POTTER ROYAL ARMY MEDICAL CORPS There were bodies scattered all over the street, many had been covered, there were body parts, pieces of brain, pieces of arms, pieces of legs, there was a torrent of water flowing down the street, there were electrical cables sparking, there were roof slates falling onto the road nearby. It was a scene from hell. We pulled over a lady who looked as though she was in her 20's or 30's, turned her over and there was a naked child lying underneath her, the child was... had its arms crossed and I made an assessment, hoping that I'd find some sort of life there and pronounced life extinction on her and, as it turned out, her mother. I see their faces, I see their faces daily. I look into my daughters face and I see the faces of the children I saw that day. WARE Twenty-nine people of all faiths and political persuasions were killed by the bomb in Omagh, most were women. One family lost three generations, a grandmother, her daughter, her baby and her unborn twins. The dead also included five other children and five teenagers. Two hundred and thirty-two people were treated in hospital, some blinded, many disfigured for life. MARION RADFORD And then I thought I need to find Alan, you know, I need to find Alan. That's all was in my mind, finding Alan, and then this girl came and I was bleeding, you know, I was bleeding a lot because I had on a white t- shirt and the blood... I was just all red by this time, all round my front and this girl, she pulled me back and she said "you need to go to the hospital". MICHAEL GALLAGHER They said the bomb had exploded in the town centre, we knew Aidan was down the town so at that stage I went to the Tyrone County Hospital. When I got up into the casualty department there seemed to be hundreds of people out on the actual back entrance to the hospital because there was no room inside it. Some people seemed to have very horrific injuries and in the background I could see the army helicopters taking off from the helipad and there was another helicopter waiting to land. It was a scene that just reminded me of what we seen in the 70's in Vietnam accept it wasn't soldiers it was women and children. ELIZABETH GIBSON I don't recall how I got to Omagh, that was the Tyrone County in Omagh, but I remember running round the hospital to see if we could find her and all I remember that night is just bloodstained footprints on the corridors, you know, the long corridors of the hospital and like paper forms of some type just saturated in blood. WARE By the time the bomb exploded, at four minutes past three, we can assume the bombers were safely back in the Irish Republic. Further evidence that Seamus Daly was using one of the mobiles that had travelled to and from Omagh that day came at 3:30pm. The records show that the phone linked to Daly called a businessman. In a signed statement the man has told the Irish police that the caller was Seamus Daly. They were talking about how to make money together from a tax scam but, as with other witnesses in this case, this witness has also told the police he doesn't want to give evidence against Daly in court. MARION RADFORD I kept just watching all the ambulances and we sat there for... it must have been hours and we were asking, all of us.. you know, have you seen Alan, is Alan Radford's name on their list. And there was no name of Alan on the list. Everybody was asking, you know, everybody was so concerned. So then they sent us home, us that were able to go home. MICHAEL GALLAGHER And I went home to find out if he had arrived home and he hadn't and I went back then to the hospital and couldn't find him again, and I went back home again, and at that stage I remember lighting a candle on the front window. As the night wore on you just knew that it wasn't going to end up the way you wanted it. [Reconstruction] WARE That same Saturday night in Dundalk the Emerald Bar, now called Mc Donnels, was host to some of those linked by the mobile phones to Omagh. What's alleged to have been said here would amount to an admission from Daly that he knew all about the bomb car. One of the mobiles handed over to Daly in this bar the previous evening belonged to a building foreman. That Saturday the foreman's phone had been to Omagh and back as the phone records show. That night the foreman happened to be here, in the Emerald bar, when Seamus Daly approached him. Perhaps it was the drink in Daly but according to the foreman Daly seemed to make light of the carnage unfolding in Omagh. In a bantering way Daly is said to have remarked to the foreman "You drove the yoke to Omagh". By "yoke" the foreman says he took Daly to mean the bomb car. The foreman is unlikely to give evidence against Daly through fear so we tried to put several questions to Mr Daly ourselves. Eventually we identified a white van he was driving but Daly was a difficult man to follow and we lost him down a maze of country roads around the border. Then we spotted his van at his farmhouse off the beaten track, it seemed to have been parked to block our entry. Daly was obviously expecting cameras. We knew Seamus Daly was in the house, his mobile was lying on the table, but he was lying low. Mr Daly, my name is John Ware and I work for the BBC Panorama programme and I'd like to ask you some questions please about the Omagh bombing. I know that you're in the house because your van is here. One thing I'd like you to explain Mr Daly, please, is how you came to be in possession of a mobile telephone which was located in the Omagh area at about the time that the bomb car was parked. I'd also like you to explain please how your own personal mobile telephone came to be linked to another bombing, Lisburn, which led up to the Omagh bombing? Mr Daly I know that you're in the house and I do think you owe the families of Omagh an explanation for the questions I have asked you. But Seamus Daly stayed behind his front door so I decided to try to talk to him on the telephone. I've just dialled the Daly home number, number busy. It seems that Daly was summoning reinforcements. The local police informed us that minutes after we left a posse of his brothers and friends arrived. Through his lawyer, Mr Daly has since denied any part in the Omagh bombing. Despite the scale of the police investigation, even reconstructing bomb parts from tiny fragments, the authorities need more evidence for a prosecution. There are 15 men suspected of involvement in the bombing. Without knowledge of their names potential witnesses may be unaware of vital evidence they might possess. SIR RONNIE FLANNAGAN CHIEF CONSTABLE, RUC But there must be a whole range of people, associates, even friends, people shocked to the core by this atrocity who have vital pieces of information as to the activity of those who were actually involved in this atrocity and those people, if given encouragement, might just exercise their judgement properly and come forward to us or to the Garda Siochana. WARE But the Commissioner of the Garda Siochana is on record as saying he's not sure the culprits will ever be caught. Do you share that view? FLANNAGAN We will never give up the quest for these people, and I am yet optimistic that given yet further public cooperation, we will bring these people to justice. MARION RADFORD Well I didn't see my son then until they brought him home in a coffin and I thought this can't be my son coming through this door. But I remember the shrapnel wounds over the face. I didn't see his body. I think Alan was all in one piece, as far as I know, which is something, that maybe other families didn't even get to see their loved ones, you know. I can't remember the shrapnel wounds and that in his face. I know he had quite a bit but all I saw was a beautiful peace on his face, like he was at peace and he was happy. I miss him, I miss him so much. MICHAEL GALLAGHER When I came in through the door they just came out into the hall and we just all burst into tears and I don't think there was... I just said Aidan will not be coming home and that was a difficult... a very, very difficult day. BERNIE DOHERTY So my brother-in-law took me down Sunday night to the makeshift morgue outside Omagh and I remember when I'm there I was just so cold, and I just remember his eyes wide open as if he was looking up, and whatever way his lip was, to me, he was crying when he died, you know, whatever way his wee lip was, his bottom lip, to me it looked as if he was crying. KEVIN SKELTON It wouldn't have mattered what time I went to the house, the wife might have been in bed but there was always a noise. It's an awful thing to walk into your home for the first time and hear the clocks ticking. I have lost the best thing that ever happened to me. She never can be replaced and that's something that I'm going to just have to live with. WARE Whoever bombed Omagh, and those who know they did it, also have a terrible burden to live with, their consciences. ________________________ www.bbc.co
