The United States plans to unseal charges soon against a Libyan man suspected of assembling the bomb that blew up a US airliner over Lockerbie, Scotland, in 1988, US newspapers reported on Wednesday.
The suspect, Abu Agila Mohammad Masud, is currently held by the Libyan authorities, according to The Wall Street Journal, and US authorities are seeking his extradition to stand trial in the United States.
The New York Times said Masud s exact whereabouts are unknown but he was imprisoned in Libya at one point for unrelated crimes.
The Journal said Masud, alleged to have been a top bomb-maker for the late Libyan leader Muammar Ghaddafi, is suspected of assembling the device that blew up Pan Am Flight 103.
