Lockerbie

NPR's Julie McCarthy reports that tomorrow, at 5 am eastern standard time, a special Scottish court in the Netherlands will announce its verdict in the case of two Libyans charged with blowing up Pan Am Flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland. Some family members of the American victims are upset they won't be able to travel there in time. Two hundred seventy people were killed when the Pan Am jet, on a flight from London to New York, blew up in the skies over Lockerbie, Scotland in December of 1988.
