Daily News | Local families of Pan Am Flight 103 victims hope for ‘justice now’
Steven Maslowski received two early morning emails Sunday, the first from The Crown Office, which prosecutes crimes in Scotland, the next from the U.S. Department of Justice.
“There was just so much potential snuffed out,” he said. “And it caused a bad ripple through all the families. For me, it left a void in my life.” “Those of us who have lost loved ones are getting older,” said Monetti, 76. “You want some justice before you die.”Abdel Baset Ali al-Megrahi, the only person convicted for the bombing, was given a life sentence in the Netherlands but was released after eight years in 2009 because he had prostate cancer. He died in Libya in 2012.
