Lockerbie wreckage returns to Scotland
Wreckage from the jumbo jet blown up over Lockerbie has been returned to Scotland almost 25 years after the terrorist atrocity.
The torn fuselage of the Boeing 747 was transported to Farnborough, Hampshire in the aftermath of the 1988 bombing. The hangar at the Air Accidents Investigation Branch (AAIB) unit is undergoing refurbishment and the decision was made to return the wreckage in which 270 people died.
Libyan intelligence officer Abdelbaset al-Megrahi was convicted of the attack but died last year protesting his innocence and since the fall of the Gaddafi regime in 2011 British investigators have been working to establish if other individuals were also responsible. Senior officials from Crown Office, Dumfries and Galloway Police and the FBI visited Tripoli in February.
