In Libya, Mystery Shrouds Handover of Lockerbie Suspect to U.S.

The United States said on Sunday that the F.B.I. had arrested the suspect, Abu Agila Mohammad Mas’ud, in connection with the bombing of Pan Am Flight 103, which was bound for New York from London when it exploded over Lockerbie, Scotland, killing all 270 aboard. American prosecutors say that Mr. Mas’ud delivered to accomplices the suitcase containing the bomb used in the attack.

It was not immediately clear who had handed Mr. Mas’ud over to the Americans. Libya has for years been a fractious country with competing governments in the eastern and western parts and a host of regional militias also exercising local control. The internationally recognized interim government, based in the country’s west, has not commented on the transfer and little is known about the role the Libyan authorities played. U.S. officials did not provide details of the handover.

But the possibility that a militia turned him over or that the interim government did so to shore up American support were criticized in some corners of Libya.
