The Ministry of Justice of the Government of National Unity said on Sunday that rejects attempts to reopen the case of 1988 Lockerbie bombing.
In a statement released via its Facebook page, the ministry said that the case, of which Libyan intelligence officer Abdelbaset al-Megrahi was convicted in 2001, “has been completely closed from a political and legal point of view”.
The ministry added that the case was closed as per agreement concluded between Libya and the United States of America in August 2008, and highlighted that the agreement was ratified by Presidential Order No. 13477 issued signed by former U.S. President George W. Bush in October 2008.
