Statement on developments in relation to the bombing of Pan Am 103 in 1988

Chief Constable Sir Iain Livingstone said: “The bombing of Pan Am 103 and the terrible loss of 270 lives has had a profound impact in Lockerbie, right across Scotland, and internationally.

“I pay tribute to the families of victims for the courage and dignity they have demonstrated for 34 years, and my thoughts remain with them today.

“Since 1988, policing in Scotland has been committed to carrying out the largest terrorist and murder investigation ever undertaken in this country.

“We have worked tirelessly to bring those responsible to justice. Police Scotland will continue to work closely on this investigation, under the direction of the Crown Office and Procurator Fiscal Service, with our American law enforcement colleagues.”
