I appreciate the work of the United States government which contributed to this guilty verdict. Nothing can change the suffering and loss of this terrible act, but I hope the families do find some solace that a guilty verdict was rendered.

Bush, U.S. President\u003cbr/\u003eThe statement came after a Scottish court Wednesday morning convicted 48-year-old Abdel Basset Ali al-Megrahi to life in prison, also giving him the possibility of parole after 20 years. \u003cbr/\u003eA second defendant, Lamen Khalifa Fhimah, was acquitted. \u003cbr/\u003eBut as families gathered in Washington D-C to hear the verdict, a former attorney for some family members said they feel the verdict doesn't go far enough.  \u003cbr/\u003eSOUNDBITE: (English) \u003cbr/\u003e\"These two guys did it under orders of (Moammar) Gadhafi we believe, and the families believe, so it's a half measure but it's very important to them.

Simpson, will be different. It's a different burden of proof, it's a much less burden of proof. In addition to which....it brings in more people.

There are unindicted co-conspirators who have not been pursued. We would pursue them civilly. And what the families want to know more than anything is the absolute truth. Why did their sons and daughters and brothers and sisters and parents die.

He'll serve his time, and his family will be well taken care of.\"\u003cbr/\u003eSUPER CAPTION: Bob Monetti, father of Pan Am 103 victim\u003cbr/\u003eOther family members say they expected the Scottish court would rule as it did, issuing a life sentence. \u003cbr/\u003eBut some say they'll be seeking international intervention to retain sanctions on the rogue state.\u003cbr/\u003eSOUNDBITE: (English) \u003cbr/\u003e\"We expected that it would be under Scottish law, which does not have capital punishment. So, we're not vengeful, just justice is what we want. And we're going to hang in there, because we're going after (Moammar) Gadhafi now. We want the sanctions to continue unilaterally with the United States, and we want the United States State Department and President Bush to go after the international community to reassign the sanctions.\"\u003cbr/\u003eSUPER CAPTION: George Williams, father of Pan Am 103 victim\u003cbr/\u003eIn a drive to keep U-N sanctions in place, Secretary of State Colin Powell conferred by telephone with British Foreign Secretary Robin Cook.\u003cbr/\u003eHowever, the sanctions have been suspended and Britain has restored normal relations with Tripoli. \u003cbr/\u003eBut the United States applies its own sanctions against Libya, and State Department spokesman Richard Boucher said the U-S will \"follow the evidence wherever it leads.\"\u003cbr/\u003eSOUNDBITE: (English)\u003cbr/\u003e\"As we've said all along, the government of Libya must take responsibility for the actions of Libyan officials. That means revealing everything they know about the Lockerbie bombing, paying reparations, a clear declaration acknowledging responsibility of Libyan officials and clear, unambiguous actions that demonstrate to the Libyan government that the Libyan government understands this responsibility. I note also that the United States maintains unilateral sanctions on Libya that pre-date the bombing of Pan Am 103.
