Scottish official sought at US Lockerbie hearing

None

A US senator has asked that a Scottish representative appear at next week's congressional hearing on the release of the Libyan man convicted of the 1988 Lockerbie bombing.

 

Two Scottish officials have declined to appear before the the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, which is examining circumstances of Scotland's decision last year to release Libyan intelligence officer Abdel Basset al-Megrahi, convicted of bombing a US airliner over Lockerbie, Scotland.
