Nidal not behind 1988 Lockerbie bombing ruling
The Scottish Crown Office dismissed reports that Abu Nidal masterminded the Pan Am 103 attack in which 270 people died. It cited evidence over rumor and noted al Hayat's interview as unproven. Abdel Basset Ali al Megrahi remains convicted in the case. Iraqi officials said Abu Nidal shot himself in Baghdad rather than face charges.
