UK, U.S. to be allowed to question Libyan ex-spy chief over Lockerbie: Libya
LONDON Tue Dec 17, 2013 1:12pm EST
(Reuters) - Libya plans to allow British and American investigators to question Muammar Gaddafi's former intelligence chief Abdullah Senussi over the 1988 Lockerbie airline bombing, the Libyan justice minister has told Britain's ITV news.
"In order to learn the lessons of history and give rest and assurances and comfort to the families of the victims - we should know everything about what happened to their loved ones during that terrible, terrible crime," Salah Margani told the channel in an interview.
ITV said on its website that when asked whether former Senussi could be questioned, Margani said: "Yes this is the intention.
"What we are working on is finalizing the arrangements for this as much as obtaining the evidence that's available with the UK and US authorities."
