Questions raised over legality of Lockerbie suspect’s extradition
LONDON: The family of the Libyan accused of bringing down Pan Am flight 103 over Lockerbie have said the US staged an abduction using a local militia leader, The Observer reported on Sunday.
Mohammed Abouagela Masud was charged last week in the US more than 30 years after the 1988 bombing that killed 270 people.
The 71-year-old’s family say he was kidnapped from his home in Tripoli in November by gunmen led by a local warlord on the orders of the US.
