London: Scottish police, investigating the Lockerbie bombing, has interviewed former Libyan foreign minister Moussa Koussa. Prosecutors believe he has information on the murders of 270 people in the 1988 terrorist attack.
Koussa is thought to have been a senior figure in the Libyan intelligence service when Pan Am flight 103 was blown up over Lockerbie.
One of the Libyan leader’s sons says Koussa has no information about this.
In an interview earlier this week, Col Muammar Gaddafi’s son – Saif al-Islam Gaddafi – denied the former foreign minister could reveal anything about the Lockerbie bombing.
He said: “The British and the Americans they know about Lockerbie. There are no secrets anymore.
Last week the former Libyan foreign minister arrived in the UK, saying he was “no longer willing” to work for Col Gaddafi.
His defection came amid continued unrest in Libya.
Police and prosecutors in Scotland requested an interview with him at a meeting with Foreign Office officials on Monday.
He was not arrested by police and it is understood that he agreed to be questioned.
In a statement issued on Thursday, the Crown Office and Procurator Fiscal Service (COPFS) said: “We can confirm that officers of Dumfries and Galloway Constabulary, supported by COPFS, today met….[Moussa Koussa]…..in relation to the ongoing investigation into the Lockerbie bombing.”
