We’d like to hear what you think about this or any of our articles. Here are some tips. And here’s our email: letters@nytimes.com. WorkWorkLockerbie bomb suspect in US custody was abducted from home by warlord According to the US affidavit, Masud was a key figure in the plot, along with Abdelbaset al-Megrahi, and Al-Amin Khalifah Fhimah. Al-Megrahi was jailed for life for mass murder by three Scottish judges at a special court sitting in the Netherlands in 2001. Fhimah was later acquitted at a trial.Investigators say Masud met with the other two in Malta, where he had been directed to fly by a senior Libyan intelligence official with a prepared suitcase. He was asked to set the timer by the other two men, and the suitcase travelled via feeder flights to the hold of the Boeing 747.Three months after the bombing, the US alleges, Masud and Fhimah met with then Libyan leader, Muammar Gaddafi, who "thanked them for carrying out a great national duty".At the time, Gaddafi was in conflict with the west, but under his leadership Libya later renounced terrorism and accepted responsibility for the aircraft bombing in 2003 in return for relief from economic sanctions.After Gaddafi's fall, Masud, a longtime explosives expert for the country's intelligence service, was taken into custody by Libyan law enforcement. In 2017, US officials received a copy of an interview with Masud carried out by Libyan authorities soon after his arrest.In that interview, US officials said, Masud admitted building the bomb used in the Pan Am attack and working with the two men charged earlier to plant it on the plane. He said the operation had been ordered by Libyan intelligence and that Gaddafi had thanked him and others after the attack, according to an FBI affidavit.In late 2020, the US Justice Department announced charges against Masud. With Masud in Libyan custody, though, his prosecution remained largely theoretical. WorkWorkBahamas Told Bankman-Fried to Mint New Crypto as FTX Collapsed, Lawyers Say In US bankruptcy courts, creditors are repaid based on the priority of their debt, not their nationality. When multinational corporations file bankruptcy in the US, a federal judge usually has authority to distribute all of the company’s assets, once a final reorganization plan is approved. Sometimes, a company’s assets are so closely tied to debt owed to foreign creditors, that additional insolvency cases are filed outside the US.
