Lockerbie bombing: Ex-US prosecutor Bill Barr says Abu Agila Masud should face death penalty

William Barr was the US attorney general who announced the charges against Abu Agila Masud two years ago, on the 32nd anniversary of the Lockerbie bombing - the deadliest terror attack ever on UK soil.

Mr Barr told me the arrest sends an important message that no matter how much time has elapsed, anyone attacking the US will eventually be brought to justice.say the United Nations should choose where Mr Masud faces trial "I wanted it to be tried in the United States as well. And I wanted to pursue the death penalty in the United States," Mr Barr said, at the same moment that Mr Masud was appearing in a courthouse in Washington DC. "I didn't want to proceed to Scotland, partly because Scotland would not impose the death penalty."

The case against Mr Masud will include a confession he allegedly gave to a Libyan law enforcement official when he was in custody in Libya on other charges. He is said to have described his role in the attack which included making the bomb, transporting it to Malta and prepping it before it was put into a suitcase and loaded onto a plane.
