Lockerbie families: Justice served by Gadhafi death

Families of victims killed in the Libyan bombing of a US airliner over Scotland in 1988 said justice was served with the death of Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi on Thursday, but they also hoped it would reveal others behind the attack. "I hope he's in hell with Hitler," said Kathy Tedeschi, whose first husband, Bill Daniels, was among the 270 people killed in the 1988 bombing of PanAm Flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland. "I just can't stop crying, I am so thrilled." "I am sure (Gadhafi) was the one who pushed to have this done, the bombing," said Tedeschi, 62, whose three children were aged 10, 7 and 2 when their father was killed. Gadhafi's death sparked wild celebrations in Libya that eight months of war may finally be over. His killing was announced by several officials of the National Transitional Council and backed up by a photograph of his bloodied body. Bob Monetti, whose son Richard, 20, was killed in the Lockerbie bombing said: "The world is a much better place without Gaddafi and Libya is certainly much better off." "I hope we can get some more information and get on with our lives," he said. "I am way past vengeance." The PanAm airliner exploded as it flew to New York from London on Dec. 21, 1988. All 259 people aboard the aircraft were killed and 11 others on the ground in Lockerbie also died from falling wreckage.
