A Libyan man suspected in the 1988 bombing of Pan Am Flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland, that killed 270 people has been taken into U.S. custody, putting the spotlight back on the notorious terrorist attack.
WHO WAS HELD RESPONSIBLE?
One of the men, Abdel Baset Ali al-Megrahi, was convicted and given a life sentence. The other, Lamen Khalifa Fhimah, was found not guilty. Scottish officials released Al-Megrahi on humanitarian grounds in 2009 after he was diagnosed with prostate cancer. He died in Libya in 2012. Despite a rapprochement with the U.S. government, the pursuit of others responsible for the bombing largely stalled, until after Ghadafi was ousted from power in 2011.After Ghadafi’s fall, Mas'ud, a longtime explosives expert for the country’s intelligence service, was taken into custody by Libyan law enforcement. In 2017, U.S. officials received a copy of an interview with Mas'ud done by Libyan authorities soon after his arrest.
In late 2020, the U.S. Justice Department announced charges against Mas'ud. With Mas'ud in Libyan custody, though, his prosecution remained largely theoretical. U.S. and Scottish officials pledged to work for his extradition, so that he could be tried.
