"Known as the Lockerbie bombing, the destruction of Pan Am Flight 103 killed 270 people from 21 countries, including 11 people on the ground." Today, December 21st is the 18th anniversary of this terrible incident...
"After a three year joint investigation by the Scottish Dumfries and Galloway Constabulary and the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation, during which 15,000 witness statements were taken, indictments for murder were issued on November 13, 1991, against Abdelbaset Ali Mohmed Al Megrahi, a Libyan intelligence officer and the head of security for Libyan Arab Airlines (LAA), and Al Amin Khalifa Fhimah, the LAA station manager in Luqa Airport, Malta."
Just thought I would post this in memory of the passengers on this flight 18 years ago. The link provides great information on how the bombing happen, the passengers on the plane, how the plane crashed, etc...
