A police officer walks by the nose of Pan Am flight 103 in a field near the town of Lockerbie, Scotland after a bomb exploded on board, killing a total of 270 people on Dec. 21, 1988.LONDON — U.S. and Scottish authorities said Sunday that the Libyan man suspected of making the bomb that destroyed a passenger plane over Lockerbie, Scotland, in 1988 is in U.S. custody.
Pan Am flight 103, traveling from London to New York, exploded over Lockerbie on Dec. 21, 1988, killing all 259 people aboard the plane and another 11 on the ground. It remains the deadliest terror attack on British soil. “At long last, this man responsible for killing Americans and many others will be subject to justice for his crimes,” William Barr, the attorney general at the time, said at a news conference.In 2001, former Libyan intelligence officer Abdelbaset al-Megrahi was convicted of bombing the flight. He is to date the only person convicted over the attack. He lost one appeal and abandoned another before being freed in 2009 on compassionate grounds because he was terminally ill with cancer.

Officials: Lockerbie bomb suspect is in US custodyLONDON (AP) — U.S. and Scottish authorities said Sunday that the Libyan man suspected of making the bomb that destroyed a passenger plane over Lockerbie, Scotland, in 1988 is in U.S. custody. Scotland’s Crown Office and Procurator Fiscal Service said in a statement that 'the families of those killed in the Lockerbie bombing have been told that the suspect Abu Agela Mas’ud Kheir Al-Marimi is in U.S. The U.S. Justice Department confirmed the information, adding that Abu Agela Mas’ud Kheir Al-Marimi “is expected to make his initial appearance in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia.” Hopefully now the truth comes out, that Qaddafi had no involvement with this terrorist attack. & the 1986 bombing of Libya by President Reagan as a War crime. Biden is going to trade away another International terrorist?
