SV OF INTERVIEW WITH ROSEMARY WOLFE, WHOSE STEPDAUGHTER MIRIAM WAS KILLED ON PAN AM 103. 1.37 10. MCU (English) ROSEMARY WOLFE SAYING, "We think Gaddafi helped carry it out. We think Fahima and Megrahi were very low-levels on the totem pole of this. They were part of his (Gaddafi's) intelligence operation. They were operatives. One worked directly for his intelligence service, one worked for Libyan airlines, which is government controlled. There is no way that Fahima and Megrahi were private citizens who decided on their own that they were going to blow up a major American airliner. So we would like to make sure that during this trial, we know the story of why and who else was involved." 2.21 UNITED NATIONS (FILE) (UNTV -- ACCESS ALL) 11.

Then I became satisfied and then I realized that all of this was because my brother was blown out of the air at 31,000 feet. That brought me back to reality, but I think I can say today on behalf of my brother and the 269 other victims that we in the family group have done everything we possibly could to make this day come through. And because of that, it's extremely satisfying." 3.28 15.
