The explosive device used in the bombing of Pan Am Flight 103 is allegedly the creation of Libyan bomb expert Abu Agila Mohammad Mas'ud. The F.B.I. apprehended a Libyan intelligence agent accused in the 1988 bombing of an American aircraft over Lockerbie, Scotland, and he is now being extradited to the US to stand trial for one of the worst terrorist attacks in US history, officials said on Sunday.
Authorities announced overnight that Abu Agila Masoud (pictured) was being held on suspicion of playing a key role in destroying the Pan Am flight 103, 34 years ago.
The DOJ first announced charges against Masud (aka Abu Agila Masud Kheir Al-Marimi) two years ago, in connection with the bombing of the New York-bound Boeing 747 four days before Christmas 1988.
