The brother of a man killed on Pan Am 103, Bert Ammerman, and former Assistant FBI Director Chris Swecker react to the Lockerbie bombing suspect being taken into U.S. custody.
"I think this is a reminder that we need to make sure that we keep our eye on that. With all the so-called domestic terrorism going on. Now, international terrorism like this is still out there. They have long memories."
Ammerman expressed frustration for the 34-year-long stalemate investigation, saying that the lack of immediate retaliation has reinforced beliefs that the United States is"soft" on state-sponsored terrorism. He went so far as to say that if the United States had properly taken care of the situation,"we might not have had 9/11."made a very important comment that most people didn't pick up on," Ammerman began.
"I believe if we had handled this appropriately then, we might not have had 9/11, because what we showed the world back in Pan Am Flight 103 is that America was soft on state-sponsored terrorism," he added.
