NPR's Julie McCarthy reports that the owner of a clothing store on Malta today provided valuable testimony for the prosecution in the trial of two Libyan men accused of blowing up Pam Am 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland. The shop owner identified one of the Libyan suspects as the man who bought clothing in his store about two weeks before the passenger jet blew up in midair on December 21st, 1988. The clothing has been linked to the suitcase that contained the bomb. 270 people were killed in the explosion.
