OFFICIALS HOPE FOR LOCKERBIE SUSPECTS ACCESS

Officials in Scotland say they are hopeful of being able to interview two Libyans identified as suspects in the 1988 Lockerbie bombing.

270 people were killed when Pan Am flight 103 was bombed in 1988.

Only one person - Abdelbaset al-Megrahi - has ever been found guilty over the attack and many relatives of those who died have doubts about his conviction.

Scotland correspondent Fiona Winchesters says Scottish and US officials have together identified two suspects.
