Lockerbie

35 years ago this week the deadliest terror attack in British history took place when Pan Am Flight 103 from London to New York exploded over the Scottish town of Lockerbie and killed all 259 passengers and crew on board and 11 people on the ground.

His name, Abdel Baset al-Megrahi, was little known compared to the single word that his deeds represented: Lockerbie.
