Journalist Magnus Linklater has followed, researched, and reported on the Lockerbie bombing for years.

Last year, I cited an article detailing the possibility that Suse Lowenstein’s Dark Elegy had finally found a permanent home. Though the plan to place the sculptures in Montauk’s Kirk Park fell through, several Remembrance scholars approached her with the idea of petitioning Syracuse University to create a permanent home for the work.

The first books covering the bombing of Pan Am 103 appeared within appeared within months of the tragedy. Over a dozen others have followed in the 25 years since the Lockerbie bombing. The following reports and books approach the disaster from a number of perspectives. Some are forensic, some journalistic, some intensely personal. I’ve chosen…
Global Coverage of the 25th Anniversary Syracuse University complied a list of news outlets covering the 25th anniversary of the Lockerbie bombing. I appear briefly in one of the segments (CNY News). I still cringe when I see that portion—such is the price I pay for not following that tried and true Jordan tradition of…
“We are not stuck as victims of our circumstances and we can look to the future with hope even if we don’t know what it will hold. We do talk about these things and it is helpful to have a husband who can have empathy for my loss because of the family that he was…
