Gaddafi ordered Lockerbie bombing, says former Libyan justice minister
Muammar Gaddafi personally ordered the Lockerbie bombing that killed 270 people in 1988, Libya’s former justice minister has claimed.
Swedish newspaper Expressen said Mustafa Abdel-Jalil told their correspondent in Libya: “I have proof that Gaddafi gave the order about Lockerbie.”
The comments were translated from Arabic to Swedish.
Mr Abdel-Jalil stepped down as justice minister in protest the violence against anti-government demonstrations.
