The attack killed 259 people in the air and an additional 11 on the ground.
Fargo South High School graduate Steven Berrell was among the 270 people who were killed. Berrell was with a group of students from Syracuse University who were returning home from a trip to Europe.
The Pan Am Boeing 747 was en route from London to New York.
“It just helps bring additional closure to the situation, so that’s always a positive. Just an amazing amount of work that’s gone on over the last 32 years of this case and the fact that the FBI continued to be diligent and hard pressing and trying to bring this last suspect to justice,” Steven Berrell’s brother Rob Berrell said.
