Lockerbie, 31 years on.
[BBC] 21 December 1988

A bomb blows a passenger plane from the sky above Scotland

270 people are killed

There was a bomb in the forward hold. It was hidden inside a radio cassette recorder which was in a suitcase.

Twelve years after Pan Am 103 fell on Lockerbie, Libyan intelligence agent Abdelbaset al-Megrahi was convicted of mass murder.

He was sentenced in 2001 to 27 years in a Scottish prison but was released on compassionate grounds eight years later after being diagnosed with terminal prostate cancer.

He died in 2012. But the story did not die with him
