Your support helps us to tell the story

This election is still a dead heat, according to most polls. In a fight with such wafer-thin margins, we need reporters on the ground talking to the people Trump and Harris are courting. Your support allows us to keep sending journalists to the story.

The Independent is trusted by 27 million Americans from across the entire political spectrum every month. Unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock you out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. But quality journalism must still be paid for.

Help us keep bring these critical stories to light. Your support makes all the difference.

On 15 August 1998 a car bomb detonated in Omagh took the lives of 29 people and injured more than 220 others. Described as Northern Ireland's worst single terrorist atrocity, the Omagh bombing sparked international and local revulsion.13 years on, we take a look at some of the defining moments of Ireland's long-standing Troubles.
