Statement by Mitt Romney - Romney to New Libyan Government: Extradite Lockerbie Bomber

August 22, 2011

Mitt Romney today issued the following statement on the situation in Libya:

"The world is about to be rid of Muammar el-Qaddafi, the brutal tyrant who terrorized the Libyan people. It is my hope that Libya will now move toward a representative form of government that supports freedom, human rights, and the rule of law. As a first step, I call on this new government to arrest and extradite the mastermind behind the bombing of Pan Am 103, Abdelbaset Mohmed Ali al-Megrahi, so justice can finally be done."
