To date, the Libyan government, alleged to have been involved in the bombing, has refused to surrender the suspects to either England or the United States for prosecution. Without a proper trial, the case remains a classic example of how terrorists can literally get away with murder. The author discusses the legality of and justification for the ability of England and the United States to assert jurisdiction over the Libyan suspects. He covers such issues as terrorism legislation, extradition, principles of international concurrent jurisdiction, and the political offense exception to extradition. 89 notes
