A Libyan intelligence operative suspected of making the bomb that blew up Pan Am flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland, in 1988, killing 270 people, appeared in a federal court in Washington on Monday, ahead of being formally charged.

Abu Agila Mohammad Mas’ud Kheir Al-Marimi appeared in a Washington courtroom 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.

“Countless families have never fully recovered from his actions,” prosecutor Erik Kenerson told the court. He said the government will not be seeking the death penalty, so the maximum sentence available will be life in prison. The family only learned he had been moved to the United States when they saw it reported on the news, Marimi said.

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.
