Only one person was convicted for the Lockerbie bombing

The Lockerbie bombing is the deadliest terrorist attack in the United Kingdom with 270 deaths caused by the explosion of a Boeing 747 in 1988. After long negotiations led by the UN, Muammar Gaddafi handed over two suspects to the authorities. Abdelbaset al-Megrahi was sentenced to life imprisonment in 2001 before being released due to illness, becoming the only person found guilty of this tragedy.
