MOURNERS DEDICATE LOCKERBIE MEMORIAL

More than 300 Scots and Americans stood silently in a rainswept country churchyard Saturday to dedicate a memorial room to the 270 people who died in the December 1988 bombing of Pan Am Flight 103.

The small room, formerly a gravediggers' hut, is in the churchyard at Tundergarth, where the nose section of the doomed Boeing 747 came down and strewed the surrounding fields with bodies. The town is five miles from Lockerbie, where most bodies and debris from the aircraft fell.

More than half the congregation were relatives of the American victims. Many said it was the first time they had felt able to visit Scotland since the terrorist bombing. - Associated Press
