What was the reason of lockerbie bombing?

The bombing of Pan Am Flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland on December 21, 1988 was an act of terrorism. The plane was blown up by a bomb placed on board the aircraft. All 259 people on board were killed, as well as 11 people on the ground.

The bombing was carried out by two Libyan intelligence agents: Abdelbaset al-Megrahi and Lamin Khalifah Fhimah. The two men were tried in a Scottish court in the Netherlands and found guilty of murder. Megrahi was sentenced to life in prison, while Fhimah was acquitted.

The motive for the bombing is believed to have been retaliation for the US bombing of Libya in April 1986. The US bombing was in response to the terrorist attacks on American targets in Rome and Vienna in 1985.

The Lockerbie bombing was a major terrorist attack that shocked the world. It led to increased security measures at airports and on aircraft. The bombing also damaged relations between the US and Libya.
