Former Libyan foreign minister, Musa Kusa, who defected to Britain, has been interviewed by investigators over the bombing of a passenger plane over Lockerbie, in Scotland, in 1988, DPA reported.
Kusa, who was a senior official in the Libyan intelligence service at the time, and later became its head, has been questioned by police and prosecutors in Scotland, a statement said Friday.
A total of 270 people, including 189 US citizens, died in the bombing of the PanAm plane in December, 1988.
A Libyan man, Abdelbaset al-Megrahi, was convicted of the atrocity in 2001, but controversially released from jail in Scotland on health grounds in 2009.
It is believed that Kusa, who became intelligence chief in 1994 before becoming foreign minister, is believed to have been closely involved in the negotiations over al-Megrahi.
Unconfirmed reports have said that, as ambassador in London in the late 1970s, he was also involved in the surveillance of Libyan dissidents in Britain.
Kusa has not appeared in public in Britain since he arrived in the country via Tunisia on March 30.
