Washington – Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton says the Obama administration may seek the prosecution of Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi for the 1988 Lockerbie bombing. That follows claims from some ex-Libyan officials that Gadhafi personally ordered the airline attack that killed 270 people.

Clinton tells Congress on Tuesday that she will ask the FBI and Justice Department to look into the matter in response to lawmakers’ requests.
She noted that some Libyan officials who have defected in recent weeks have said Gadhafi gave the instructions to blow up Pan Am flight 103.
The U.S. has considered Pan Am 103 a closed case since a former Libyan intelligence officer was convicted of the bombing and Libya had paid compensation to families of the victims.
That guy belongs in a mental care facility and nowhere else.
I don’t understand. Several years ago she was praising Kadafy for his efforts to forego nuclear arms development and cooperation on international terrorism. Today she is calling him a war criminial. Which is it?
We don’t want him, let the rebels take care of him.
All of a sudden he’s a crazy man. What happened that now we changed our minds
He has BLOOD on his hands!!
right, the obama administration is going to actually take action on something.
This is the same misinformation like the WMD in Iraq!
He probably did order this himself, however we cannot allow ourselves to react based on these people who defected. Their only hope is that America takes their word and sends in the cavalry.
That’s exactly what happened in Iraq.
