Libya’s former justice minister, who has resigned following the government’s crackdown on protestors there, says the country’ s leader Moammar Gadhafi personally ordered the Lockerbie plane bombing in 1988. Mr Gadhafi has always denied that he knew of the plans to carry out the attack. The claim has reignited the debate over whether Western countries were too quick to welcome Mr Gadhafi back into the international community.
    Pan Am Flight 103 exploded over Scotland in 1988, killing all 259 passengers and crew as well as 11 people on the ground in the town of Lockerbie. In 2003, Libyan leader Colonel Gadhafi finally admitted his country was responsible for the bombing, but Mr Gadhafi himself has always denied prior knowledge.
    Now his former justice minister, Mustafa Abdel-Jalil, who resigned this week following the violent crackdown on anti-government protests, says Mr Gadhafi personally ordered the attack.
    The Swedish newspaper Expressen says Jalil told their correspondent in Libya, "I have proof that Gadhafi gave the order about Lockerbie." He has not yet produced that evidence.
    He said Gadhafi gave that order to Abdelbaset al-Megrahi, the only man convicted of the attack, who was released from a Scottish jail on compassionate grounds in 2009 as he was suffering from cancer.
