Police investigating the Lockerbie bombing have met with the defector and former Libyan foreign minister Moussa Koussa, it has emerged.
Scottish police requested an interview with him at a meeting with Foreign Office officials on Monday.
A statement issued by the Crown Office and Procurator Fiscal Service said that Dumfries and Galloway officers met Koussa in relation to the ongoing investigation. No details of the meeting were released "in order to preserve the integrity of the investigation", a spokesman said.
Koussa arrived in the UK last week saying he was "no longer willing" to work for Gaddafi. He is believed to have been a senior intelligence officer at the time of the 1988 atrocity. In 1980, he was expelled from the UK. He has always denied Libya was involved in the bombing.
