New York: A woman whose brother died in the 1988 bombing of Pan Am Flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland, said she and another victim's relative met with Libyan leader Mummar Gaddafi, whose country has been blamed for the attack.
Lisa Gibson said they met with Gaddafi at the Libyan Mission to the United Nations on Wednesday, which was arranged through a Libyan ambassador.
Gibson said she spent 10 minutes with Gaddafi, who was attending the UN General Assembly. She said the Libyan leader said through an interpreter he was sorry for her loss.
Gibson's brother was stationed in the Army and was going home for Christmas when the plane blew up, killing 270 people.
Gibson said the other person who attended the meeting lost his father in the bombing.
