The announcement that a Libyan man suspected in the 1988 bombing of a passenger jet has been taken into US custody has put the spotlight back on the notorious terrorist attack and longstanding efforts to pursue those responsible.
The suspect, Mohammed Abouagela Masud, is accused of building the bomb that destroyed a Pam Am flight over the Scottish town of Lockerbie. The attack killed all 259 people aboard the plane and 11 on the ground. The majority of those killed were Americans.
