Evanston Man Wants More Lockerbie Answers After Qaddafi Death

EVANSTON (CBS) -- An Evanston man who lost a brother in the Lockerbie bombing is hopeful the death of Moammar Qaddafi leads to more information about the terrorist act.

When Richard Mack was the president of the group Victims of Pan Am Flight 103, he fought for the conviction of those responsible for the 1988 bombing that killed his brother William and 269 others.

Mack says Gadhafi's death could lead to new details because people who were afraid to talk before can speak more freely.

Information has already been coming out of Libya, Mack says, since the dictator was overthrown.

Mack says he wishes Abdel Basset Mohamed al-Megrahi, the only person convicted in the bombing, who was released two years ago would return to prison to finish his sentence but acknowledges that's unlikely.
