A man accused of involvement in the Lockerbie bombing says he was unlawfully seized in Libya and transferred to the United States to stand trial. Abu Agila Mohammed Mas’ud Kheir Al-Marimi (also referred to as Abu Agila Masud) alleges armed men abducted him and that he was taken “hooded and bound,” characterizing the transfer as a “cloak and dagger” operation carried out at night.
Reporting across outlets reflects the same core claim: the suspect disputes the legality of his removal from Libya and says FBI agents took part in receiving him during the handover. The BBC describes his allegation that he was unlawfully taken from Libya as part of the process leading to the Lockerbie-related prosecution. The Scotsman and Daily Record similarly recount his description of being hooded, bound, and delivered to agents, framing it as an operation without due process.
