Lockerbie relatives suspect investigation will head off public inquiry

Relatives of those who died in the Lockerbie disaster are worried that the new investigation into the atrocity is being stepped up in an attempt to scupper their demands for a full public inquiry.

The Crown Office has told British relatives that it is working on several lines of inquiry in addition to reviewing evidence in the light of new forensic techniques.

The Lockerbie bombing case is being reviewed by detectives trying to determine if anyone helped the only person convicted of the attack that killed 270 people on a Pam Am flight over Scotland.
