A Libyan who was cleared after standing trial over the Lockerbie bombing has died aged 70.
Al Amin Khalifah Fhimah was accused of murdering 270 people in the attack on Pan Am Flight 103 in December 1988.
He was found not guilty but a second Libyan, Abdulbasset Al Megrahi, was convicted of playing a key role in the bombing of the American airliner.
A Facebook post by Libyan Airlines announced Fhimah’s death and expressed the company’s condolences to his family.
Fhimah worked for the carrier in Malta before the bombing of Pan Am 103.
His funeral is set to take place on Wednesday in Tripoli, the capital of Libya.
