Some relatives of people killed in the bombing of an airliner over the UK in 1988 cautiously welcome news that two new suspects have been identified.

Pam Am flight 103 was blown up over the Scottish town of Lockerbie on December 21, 1988 en route from London to New York. In 2001, Libyan Abdel Basset al-Megrahi, a former Libyan intelligence officer who worked in Malta with Libyan Arab Airlines, was jailed for life but was controversially released eight years later by the Scottish government on compassionate grounds as he had terminal cancer.
