The Lockerbie bombing over over 34 year has led to the recent arrest of a Libyan involved in the heinous crime that claimed over 103 passengers in the Pan Am flight has been arrested.
This was reported by the Scottish government, who said the US has charged the man who played a pivotal role in the 21, December,1988 bombing, Abu Agila Masud to court.
The blast on board the Boeing 747 left 270 people dead.
It is the deadliest terrorist incident to have taken place on British soil.
All 259 passengers and crew on board the jumbo jet bound to New York from London died while another 11 people were killed in Lockerbie when wreckage destroyed their homes.
Last month it was reported that Masud had been kidnapped by a militia group in Libya, leading to speculation that he was going to be handed over to the American authorities to stand trial.
A US Justice Department spokesperson told the Reuters news agency that Masud would make an initial appearance in a federal court in Washington.
Five years ago he was serving a prison sentence in Libya for bomb-making.
