A British army secret agent who infiltrated the IRA has been advised not to give evidence to the Omagh bombing trial about other informers working inside dissident republican terror groups.
The agent, known as 'Kevin Fulton', was to reveal information about informants working for the Irish and British security forces inside the Real IRA at the time of the Omagh bombing atrocity in 1998.
But the families of the Omagh victims and a British army intelligence officer turned whistleblower have confirmed this weekend that, following Fulton's arrest this month in London, the agent has been advised by his lawyers not to reveal details of the secret war against republicans at the non-jury trial of Sean Hoey in Belfast or at a planned public inquiry into collusion in the republic.
Hoey is the only person charged with involvement in the 1998 Omagh bomb attack which killed 29 people - the single biggest massacre in the Troubles.
