The Justice Department’s announcement earlier this week that it had taken custody of the third person to be charged in the 1988 bombing of Pan Am flight 103 is the latest in 34 years of U.S. actions to prosecute the perpetrators, hold the Libyan government accountable, and secure compensation for the victims.

Huge story: suspected maker of the bomb which brought an #aircraft down at #Lockerbie is in #US custody, says the prosecution authority in #Scotland. He had previously been indicted, then reportedly in the hands of a militia in #Libya. The bombing in 1988 remains the worst #terrorism atrocity in Scottish history. All 259 people on #PanAm103 died, and another 11 people on the ground were killed. In 2001, one other Libyan man was convicted #LockerbieBombing
