LOCKERBIE VICTIMS APPEAL AHEAD OF 'BOMBMAKER' TRIAL

Feds ask Scots traumatised by attack to come forward

- CHRIS MCCALL

SCOTS traumatised by the Lockerbie bombing have been urged to come forward by the FBI before the trial of a man suspected of building the bomb.

The US crime-fighting bureau has launched an international search for victims of the bombing, including people who suffered "emotional injury".

It comes 35 years after the atrocity in which a total of 270 people were killed.

Abu Agila Masud has denied making the device that blew up Pan Am Flight 103 over the Dumfriesshire town on December 21, 1988.

A judge in the US federal court where the trial is taking place is considering whether to allow remote access for people directly affected by the case.
