...added two Libyan intelligence officers charged in the bombing of Pan Am Flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland to its Ten Most Wanted list, promising a record $4 million reward for information leading to their capture and conviction. "We'll follow them to the ends of the world to bring them to court," Robert "Bear" Bryant, an assistant FBI director, told a news conference. The suspects, Abdel Basset Ali Al-Megrahi and Lamen Khalifa Fhimah, were charged in the U.S. and Scotland in 1991 with planting a suitcase bomb that killed all 270 people aboard 103.

According to the Scotsman, of Edinburgh, Libyan authorities suggested to a visiting British lawmaker that two suspected Libyan intelligence agents be tried in a third country. But Britain, which has already charged the two men, rejected the offer unless Libyan capo Muammar Gaddafi allows the proceedings on British or U.S. soil. Why's Libya reaching out now?
