US service marks anniversary of Lockerbie bomb atrocity

The 270 people who lost their lives in the Lockerbie bombing 26 years ago were remembered at a memorial service in the US yesterday.

Scottish law officers were among those at the service at Arlington cemetery in Washington to mark the anniversary of the 1988 atrocity.

Leading the delegation was Scotland’s top prosecutor, Lord Advocate Frank Mulholland. He has reaffirmed his belief in the guilt of the only man convicted of the bombing, Abdelbaset al-Megrahi, and vowed to track down his accomplices.
