Lockerbie: police wanted to speak to eight other suspects

Stuart Henderson, a former head of the Lockerbie investigation, has said authorities wanted to speak to eight other potential suspects in connection with the bombing but they were never interviewed.

Mr Henderson, a former detective chief superintendent with Lothian and Borders Police, led the Lockerbie Incident Control Centre from 1988 until 1992.

He contends that a list of people in Libya, all believed to be male, were identified by police investigating the bombing, but were never interviewed.
