BBC: Scottish police question Koussa over Lockerbie

LONDON - Scottish police interviewed

defecting Libyan foreign minister Moussa Koussa over the 1988
Lockerbie bombing, the BBC reported on Thursday.

A British Foreign Office spokesman said he was unable to

confirm the report and a spokesman for Scottish police was not
immediately available for comment.

US and Scottish authorities hope Koussa, Libya's former spy

chief, will provide vital military and diplomatic intelligence
on the bombing of Pan Am flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland, as
well as other crimes they suspect were committed by Libyan
leader Muammar Gaddafi.
