Lockerbie bomber’s guilt reaffirmed Scotland’s top prosecutor has reaffirmed Abdelbaset al-Megrahi’s guilt in the killing of 270 people in the Lockerbie bombing and has pledged to track down his accomplices. Lord Advocate Frank Mulholland said no Crown Office investigator or prosecutor has raised a concern about the evidence in the bombing of Pan Am flight 103 26 years ago today. Al-Megrahi’s part in the bombing has been called into question in a series of books, documentaries and testimony to the Scottish Parliament. A petition seeking “Justice For Megrahi”, backed by politicians and family members of some victims, remains on Holyrood’s books two years after al-Megrahi’s death.
