Summary

Nearly 34 years after the Pan Am Flight 103 bombing, Abu Agila Mohammed Masud was taken into U.S. custody this week and accused of building the bomb that killed 270 people. Bert Ammerman lost his brother on that flight and traveled to Lockerbie, Scotland to see the crash site just days after. Ammerman, who is the former President for the Victims of Pan Am Flight 103, joined host Dave Anthony on The FOX News Rundown to discuss his reactions to the arrest. He shared his experience trying to find just justice since the tragedy and spoke about his brother's legacy. He even explained why he believes that a stronger response to the attack could have prevented the events of 9/11. Due to time limitations, we could not include all of the conversations in our original segment. On the FOX News Rundown Extra, you will hear our entire interview with Bert Ammerman and get more of his candid response to the arrest of Abu Agila Mohammed Masud and why remains convinced Iran was behind the deadly plot.
