brought,down Pan Am flight 103 over Lockerbie,Scotland now nearly 34 years later the,Libyan man suspected of making that bomb,is in U.S custody it's hard to,understate how shocking the Lockerbie,bombing was at the time 270 people from,21 countries were killed 190 of them,Americans NPR Justike correspondent Ryan,Lucas joins us now Ryan tell us some,more about the suspect and who he is,well the suspect is,been held in the Detention Facility in,Libya and officials say he was handed,over to an FBI team on Sunday and they,then flew him back to the U.S to face,charges now he faces two charges he was,charged two years ago by the justike,department there are two counts that he,faces though destruction of an aircraft,resulting in death and destruction of a,vehicle by means of an explosive,resulting in death and what is his role,alleged to be,according to American prosecutors Masood,was an officer in the Libyan,intelligence service and was a,bomb-making expert and prosecutors say,that he played a critikal role in this,Lockerbie affair they say he prepared,the bomb that was used in this instance,investigators say the bomb was hidden in,a cassette player that was placed in a,suitcase now prosecutors say that Masood,delivered the suitcase with the bomb to,two Libyan operatives Masoud allegedly,set the timer on their orders for the,following day and then those operatives,took the suitcase and they're the ones,who managed to get it on the plane and,tell us about the two other men that,have faced charges,well these two men one is Abdul Basset,the other is al-amin Khalifa fahima they,were identified early in the in in the,investigation and they were charged they,eventually faced trial on a special,Scottish court that was set up in the,Netherlands uh McGrady was convicted,fakima was acquitted but American and,Scottish investigators didn't stop there,they kept working in this case and they,caught a break with the uprising that,toppled Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi in,2011 because Masood was detained and,questioned by the new Libyan authorities,after Gaddafi's fault and he allegedly,confessed to them his role in the,lockerbee bombing the libyans provided a,transcript of masood's confession in,that interview to the FBI and that was,critikal to Masoud eventually being,charged two years ago here in the U.S,and now he's in custody and gonna face,Justike here in the U.S and I can,imagine that this is a huge step for the,families of the victims absolutely,absolutely this is the the culmination,of a decades-long investigation and hunt,for everyone responsible for this,bombing uh one of the victims of the,attack was Richard monetti he was a,student at Syracuse University he and 34,other Syracuse students who were,studying abroad were returning home for,the holidays on Pan Am flight 103.,minetti's sister Kara weeps spoke to,weekend All Things Considered about,massoud's arrest here's a bit of what,she had to say this means,so much to the family so much to my,family so much to me to know that,Justike is going to be served in our,country under our laws she also said,that this is another step toward,fast retaining the truth about the,bombing and ultimately of course holding,everyone responsible so Ryan what are,the next steps here,well Masood will now face the the US,Criminal Justike System there are legal,questions of course surrounding the,confession that he made in living in,custody we'll see how that all plays out,in the weeks and months to come uh but,for now I'm told that Masood could make,his initial appearance in federal court,here in Washington D.C as soon as today,all right that's NPR's Ryan Lucas Ryan,thanks thank you,thank you,foreign,[Music],year history Los Angeles as mayor is a,black woman Karen bass was sworn in on,Sunday by vice president Kamala Harris,her first order of business this City's,homelessness crisis I,I first day,mayor will be to declare a state of,emergency on homelessness she'll also,deal with a scandal-ridden city council,as she tries to push her agenda through,Benjamin oreskis is a Metro reporter,with the LA Times Benjamin so mayor bass,wants to start with a state of emergency,on homelessness who's on board and what,will that do,thanks for having me the question of,who's on board she has it is sort of,answered by who was at her inauguration,almost every member of the city council,saved one and we're going to tok about,him in a minute was there and was,excited to be there and excited to be,working with her on uh this issue a,state of emergency has a sort of,politikal and practikal Dimension the,the Practikal one is that it it gives,her a lot more power flexibility and,freedom to deploy resources staff and,money in various different directions to,address this crisis that voters you know,indicated in any number of ways was the,most important in the city that the,politikal part of this is that it again,tells people this is the most important,thing on my plate and it's all I'm going,to be thinking about so conveying an,urgency to angelinos who are very angry,about the state of their streets and,Benjamin catches up on the politiks part,of Los Angeles because there's a lot of,dysfunction happening around the city,council in the last few days have been,especially terrible,they are the one member of the city,council who didn't show up to her,inauguration was Kevin De Leon Kevin was,caught on a tape that was recorded last,year and he's on it with two members of,the city council and a labor leader and,they're making crude racist remarks it's,in the context of redistricting they're,toking about that process but but he,says and they all say some not so nice,things about their colleagues some,racist comments about one of their,colleague's sons and two of the members,sort of hid one resigned one just sort,of stayed out of the way he's now termed,out but but Kevin has dug his heels in,he hasn't though showed up for City,Council meetings he did though for the,first time in months on Friday what also,then occurred is that he went to a,holiday party and protesters who have,been dogging him for much longer since,this tape came out God in his face and,he was fed up and and sort of attacked,one of these protesters it was a brawl,of sorts all of this takes place under,the backdrap of a city where we have a,member of the city council who was,indicted we have multiple former members,who were indicted in just a broader,sense from angelinos that the bodies of,government in the city are not working,for them it's what propelled the,candidacy of Karen bass opponent Rick,Caruso uh and it's also what a lot of,the healing that Karen bass has toked,about needing to do and so how is the,new mayor toking about how she'll try,to heal some of those divides,well she is someone whose biography is,about bringing people together this is a,community activist starts after the,civil unrest in 1992 starts a non-profit,called Community Coalition she then,joins this State Assembly and then on to,Congress you know she has been all a
