Lockerbie: An atrocity that caused heartbreak around the world

It was the start of a nine month trial and in January 2001, the verdicts were announced. Standing in the queue to get into the courtroom, I realised I was surrounded by relatives of people who died. I was there for work, to witness a huge international story. They were there for justice, for answers, perhaps even for closure, if that’s ever possible in such a case. I’m not going to try to guess how they felt.
