EDINBURGH - Relatives of British victims of the 1988 bombing of a Pan Am jet over Scotland are set to accept a final improved offer of compensation which press reports said yesterday would be about £500,000 each.
Mr Peter Watson, a lawyer, who represents the families, said he hoped to make an announcement about the compensation offer in about a week. Of the 270 people killed in the December, 1988, bombing, 33 were British passengers on the Pan Am jumbo, and 11 were residents in Lockerbie where the jet crashed.
