Scottish rescue workers and crash investigators search the area around the cockpit of Pan Am flight 103 in a farmer's field east of Lockerbie, Scotland, after a mid-air bombing killed all 259 passengers and crew, and 11 people on the ground, in this December 23, 1988 file photo. The Scottish government will announce on August 20, 2009 whether it will release former Libyan intelligence agent Abdel Basset al-Megrahi, convicted of the 1988 bombing of an airliner over Lockerbie that killed 270 people, the regional administration said on Wednesday. Scotland's justice minister Kenny MacAskill will announce his decision at 1200 GMT. REUTERS/Greg Bos/Files (BRITAIN DISASTER CRIME LAW POLITICS)
