Libyan Accused of Making Bomb Which Killed 270 People Over Lockerbie, Scotland 34 Years Ago is in US Custody

Thirty-four years ago this month, a bomb destroyed Pan Am flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland killing 270 people.

Libyan Abdel Baset Ali Mohmed al-Megrahi, the only person convicted of the bombing to date, was jailed for life but was released early in 2009 on compassionate grounds after a terminal prostate cancer diagnosis which doctors claimed left him only three months to live.

The Gateway Pundit reported that Ali Mohmet al-Megrahi was not as ill as described and lived until 2012 in freedom, celebrated as a hero in Libya.

The Obama Administration knew about the release of Abdul Baset Ali al-Megrahi months before he was freed.

Now, Scottish authorities have now shared that Abu Agila Masud, who the US announced charges against two years ago for playing a key role in the bombing, is in custody.

The BBC reports:

A Libyan man accused of making the bomb which destroyed Pan Am flight 103 over Lockerbie 34 years ago is in United States custody, Scottish authorities have said.
