Libya joins probe into Lockerbie bombing
Lord Advocate Frank Mulholland insists there are still others with “blood on their hands” who have not been brought to justice.
Libyans will now work alongside Scottish and US investigators, in a move described as a “welcome development” by Mr Mulholland. Scotland’s senior prosecutor said: “As a result of developing good relations and understanding of what we’re trying to achieve, the Libyan law enforcement have appointed two prosecutors to work with the US and Scottish prosecutors in investigating this.

Mr Mulholland will meet the head of the FBI to discuss the inquiry during a visit to the US when he will attend events to mark this weekend’s 25th anniversary of the terrorist bombing. Scottish detectives could also be poised to visit Libya in the new year as part of the investigation.
