A SCOTTISH FIREMAN WALKS PAST THE COCKPIT OF PAN AM FLIGHT 103 FILE PHOTO, 1988-12-23 (photo)

Scottish rescue workers and crash investigators search the area around the cockpit of Pan Am flight 103 in a farmer's field east of Lockerbie Scotland in this December 23, 1988 file photo. Libya has offered $2.7 billion to compensate families of the 270 victims of Pan Am Flight 103, which exploded over Lockerbie, Scotland, in 1988, a law firm representing families said on Tuesday. The explosion killed 259 mostly American passengers and crew, and 11 residents of Lockerbie. One Libyan defendant was convicted and a second was acquitted of the mid-air bombing.
