[edit] Why set up outwith Scotland?

And why had this court been set up in the Netherlands and not in Scotland? -- JeLuF 17:39, 24 Nov 2003 (UTC)

Libya refused to hand over Abdelbaset Ali Mohmed Al Megrahi and Al Amin Khalifa Fhimah for trial despite UN sanctions, and this was a compromise aimed moving the case towards a resolution. It is all covered in Pan Am Flight 103 including information from earlier drafts of this page, which is why this article should redirect there. --Henrygb 00:20, 23 Mar 2004 (UTC)

More background covering the rationale for setting up the Scottish Court in the Netherlands is at Pan Am Flight 103 bombing trial.Phase4 10:18, 5 September 2007 (UTC)
