Original Note:
This was not a disaster (natural) as the first minister says and is at least disingenuous. Lockerbie was a terrorist attack and the plane exploded because of a bomb. It was and still is the UK's deadliest terror attack ever to be carried out on British soil. https://www.cnn.com/2022/12/12/europe/lockerbie-bombing-explainer-intl/index.html https://news.sky.com/story/lockerbie-tragedy-35th-anniversary-of-the-bombing-of-pan-am-flight-103-13033448 https://www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/2022/12/11/lockerbie-bombing-explainer-faq/ https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2022/dec/12/lockerbie-plane-bombing-what-happened-and-who-is-the-third-suspect
