ĭuring the First Libyan Civil War in 2011, former Minister of Justice Mustafa Abdul Jalil claimed that the Libyan leader had personally ordered the bombing, though this was later denied, while investigators have long believed that Megrahi did not act alone, and have been reported as questioning retired Stasi agents about a possible role in the attack. Libya said it had to accept responsibility due to Megrahi's status as a government employee.

Acceptance of responsibility was part of a series of requirements laid out by a UN resolution for sanctions against Libya to be lifted. In 2003, Gaddafi accepted responsibility for the Lockerbie bombing and paid compensation to the families of the victims, although he maintained that he had never given the order for the attack. He died in May 2012 as the only person to be convicted for the attack. In August 2009, he was released by the Scottish government on compassionate grounds after being diagnosed with prostate cancer. In 2001, Abdelbaset al-Megrahi, a Libyan intelligence officer, was jailed for life after being found guilty of 270 counts of murder in connection with the bombing.

In 1999, Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi handed over the two men for trial at Camp Zeist, the Netherlands, after protracted negotiations and UN sanctions. įollowing a three-year joint investigation by Dumfries and Galloway Constabulary and the US Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), arrest warrants were issued for two Libyan nationals in November 1991. With a total of 270 fatalities, it is the deadliest terrorist attack in the history of the United Kingdom. Large sections of the aircraft crashed in a residential street in Lockerbie, killing 11 residents. Shortly after 19:00 on 21 December 1988, while the aircraft was in flight over the Scottish town of Lockerbie, it was destroyed by a bomb that had been planted on board, killing all 243 passengers and 16 crew in what became known as the Lockerbie bombing.
