Convicted PanAm 103 bomber may get new trial

The Eighties seem like a million years ago, and you probably thought — if you thought about it at all — that the terrorists who brought down PanAm flight 103 just before Christmas in 1988 had been brought to justice. And they had been, sort of, or so we thought. At least one of them. But now, a Scottish review may end up reopening the case:

The commission cast doubt on the testimony of a witness, who changed his story several times and had been shown a photograph of the Libyan official days before picking him out of a lineup. It also challenged evidence presented at the trial that the official had purchased the clothes found in the suitcase that held the bomb.

Just so we remember. Libya formally accepted responsibility for what was, until September 11, the worst act of terrorism committed against US citizens.

Not only did we not invade Libya, but we can't even seem to find one of their terrorists guilty when their own government admits they did it.
