The New IRA has targeted police before and was responsible for the killing of journalist Lyra McKee in 2019
It is a much smaller group than the Irish Republican Army, which disarmed when the Good Friday accord ended the fighting between nationalist militants seeking unity with Ireland, and pro-British unionists wanting to stay in the United Kingdom.
The threat from domestic groups was reduced to “substantial” from “severe”, meaning an attack is still likely, according to an independent assessment by the MI5 domestic spy service. McEwan said the police continue to review the threat level. The shooting was condemned by the governments in Dublin and London. A statement by the leaders across Northern Ireland’s political divide said the people of Omagh had endured profound suffering and trauma in the past and that there was “absolutely no tolerance for such attacks by the enemies of our peace.”
