The prosecutor's office got in touch with Scotland's transitional government of Libya and referred to its request for evidence that could help in investigating the explosion of an airliner over the town of Lockerbie in 1988, according to Reuters. "In particular, we asked the National Transitional Council of Libya to provide any documents and give access to all the witnesses who could help the investigation, " – declared the representative of the Scottish prosecution. American Airlines plane blew up Pan Am in the skies over Lockerbie in 1988. Then killed 270 people. In this crime the British authorities have accused members of Libyan intelligence. One of them – Abdel Basset Ali al-Megrahi – Libya has issued later Britain, where he was imprisoned, but in 2009, a terminally ill terrorist released "on humanitarian grounds, " and sent to live out the days in Libya. But Megrahi to Libya was not dead, and suddenly felt much better and was adopted by the authorities as a hero. In 2011, after the capture of Tripoli Libyan rebels, it nevertheless found in a coma – he died in a Moscow clinic. Although it is believed that it was behind the explosion of Megrahi, the investigation of terrorist attack is still unfinished. In particular, it is unclear who exactly gave the order to blow up the plane. The head of OPS, the former Minister of Justice of Libya Mustafa Abdel-Jalil claimed that he gave orders to commit a terrorist act personally Muammar Gaddafi.
