Following the judgement in the Lockerbie bombing case at Camp Zeist in The Netherlands, BBC News Online highlights some of the comments made by those concerned with the tragedy.

"It can never be over because our lives will never be the same. We only have part of the truth and a small measure of justice. We have a footsoldier - we don't have Gaddafi."

Rosemary Wolfe
President of Justice for Pan Am 103 group

"I am very pleased that Megrahi has been found guilty. It clearly links the Libyan Government to the killing of 270 people."

Peter Lowenstein
Father of victim

"The prime minister is glad that justice has been done. The Lockerbie bombing was the most heinous terrorist act of recent years."

Tony Blair's spokesman

"The verdict is a victory for an international effort and has resulted in an indictment of a member of the Libyan intelligence services. The government of Libya must take responsibility."

White House statement

"This is a great stepping stone to proceed towards punishing those who gave the individuals their orders. I don't know anyone in the world who thinks those guys acted alone."

Bruce Smith
Husband of victim

"What this trial has not done is answer the huge questions that we were asking 12 years ago. Who knew what, what was going on, why were the public not protected or warned by the Western governments? We intend to continue and seek answers to those very important questions."

"There are many unanswered questions about who ordered this vile act and why our relatives were not protected."

Jim Swire
Father of victim and relatives' spokesman

al-Megrahi's defence lawyer
