Camp Zeist - US intelligence agents questioned the value of a Libyan double agent in Malta who is a key witness at the Lockerbie bombing trial, defence lawyers in the Netherlands said yesterday.
The lawyers said US handlers of Mr Abdul Majid Giaka suspected that his main concern was to avoid military service in Libya. Mr Majid (40) has yet to testify against Mr Abdel Basset Ali al-Megrahi and Mr Al-Amin Khalifa Fhimah, charged with blowing up Pan American Flight 103 over Lockerbie on December 21st, 1988, killing 270 people.
