Donald Trump urged to declassify US files on Lockerbie bombing

Professor Peter Watson urged the US president to declassify documents related to the 1988 Lockerbie bombing, stating that the families of the victims are entitled to know as much as possible about what happened on the night of the bombing.
The Lockerbie bombing killed 259 passengers and crew on Pan Am flight 103 and 11 people on the ground on December 21, 1988.
Watson emphasized the need for transparency, claiming that families of victims deserve answers and that documents held by US and UK intelligence agencies could help fill the vacuum of understanding about the tragedy.
Abu Agila Masud, alleged to have helped make the bomb, will face charges in a US trial in May.
