Call for international inquiry over Lockerbie handling
ByThe Courier Reporter
Scotland’s Justice Secretary and top law officer have been reported to a worldwide organisation of prosecutors following concerns about the handling of Lockerbie bombing inquiries.
Pressure group Justice for Megrahi wants the International Association of Prosecutors (IAP) to look at Kenny MacAskill and Lord Advocate Frank Mulholland’s “objectivity and independence” in dealing with allegations against the Crown Office and police.
The move is part of a wider campaign for an independent inquiry into the conviction of Abdelbaset al-Megrahi for the bombing of Pan Am flight 103 over Lockerbie in December 1988.
