A Libyan intelligence operative suspected of making the bomb that killed 270 people on Pan Am flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland, in 1988 will appear in a federal court in Washington, D.C., on Monday, the US Justice Department said.

The capture over the weekend in Libya of suspect Abu Agila Mohammad Mas’ud Kheir Al-Marimi comes nearly 34 years after a bomb on board the Boeing 747, which was flying from London to New York City, killed all 259 people on board and 11 on the ground.

In 1991, two other Libyan intelligence operatives, Abdel Baset Ali al-Megrahi and Lamen Khalifa Fhimah, were charged in the bombing. At the time of the bombing, US investigators uncovered evidence that one of the possible suspects went by the name of “Abu Agela Masud” but were unable to locate him, according to a sworn statement by an FBI agent in support of the government’s criminal complaint.
