The Lockerbie Bombing: The Search for Justice

By Kenny MacAskill

On December 21, 1988, Pan Am flight 103 departed London Heathrow for New York. Shortly after take-off, a bomb detonated, killing all on board and devastating the small Scottish town of Lockerbie. Abdelbaset al-Megrahi was convicted of the crime. His subsequent release from prison and deportation to Libya caused a political controversy in the UK and severely damaged Anglo-American relations.

Kenny MacAskill explains the international dimensions involved and lays bare the commercial and security interests that ran in the background throughout the investigation and trial.

Kenny MacAskill was a Scottish National Party politician, a Member of the Scottish Parliament for Edinburgh Eastern, and former Cabinet Secretary for Justice in the Scottish government.
