 | | Camp Zeist, the former U.S. military base that was converted to a prison and courtroom for the Lockerbie trial, will be turned into a lockup for cocaine smugglers, the government said Friday. |
 | | After a two-year judicial process, the case ended Thursday at Camp Zeist when a Scottish court quashed the appeal of a Libyan convicted of bombing Pan Am Flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland, in 1988, which killed 270 people. |
 | | The prisoner, Abdel Basset Ali al-Megrahi, was flown out of the complex by helicopter before midnight Thursday and transferred to a prison in Scotland to serve his life sentence. |
