The plane was carrying a bomb, which was put there by someone working for the Libyan government. A Libyan man was given a life sentence in a Scottish prison for his part in the bombing. The Libyan government finally admitted that it was responsible for the bombing in 2003, and agreed to pay a total of more than $2 billion to the families of the people who were killed.Lock·er·bieSyllable |
