LONDON, Dec. 21 (UPI) -- Relatives of the British victims of Scotland's Lockerbie bombing are reportedly demanding an independent inquiry into the 1988 tragedy.
The BBC said Sunday the appeal comes exactly 15 years after the incident, which killed 259 people on the Pan Am aircraft and 11 residents in the Scottish town of Lockerbie.
Libyan Abdelbaset Ali Mohammed Al Megrahi was jailed for life after being found guilty of the bombing.
The relatives' group, U.K. Families Flight 103, said it welcomes Libya's recent decision to give up its weapons of mass destruction, but still wants a "just resolution" to the Lockerbie bombing.
The group said it was determined to find answers "partly to prevent it from happening to other people, partly because we owe it to those who died to establish the whole truth."
A representative of the group told the BBC, "With the re-establishment of proper diplomatic relations with Libya ... it may be that the door will open a little further and more information might emerge about what happened at Lockerbie."
