//The Scottish Justice Secretary, Kenny MacAskill, says the file on the Lockerbie bombing is still open
Libyan Abdelbaset Ali al-Megrahi remains the only man convicted of the Lockerbie bombing.
Speaking on the BBC's Politics Show Scotland, Justice Secretary Kenny MacAskill said he hoped Mr Koussa might provide the Crown and police with new leads for the Lockerbie bombing investigation.
"Obviously everybody accepts that this tragedy that happened was not carried out by one man alone - there has been a live file and ongoing investigation," he said.
"What this will lead to, I don't know, but I think everybody accepts that the Crown and police investigation in Scotland has been thorough, diligent and carried out fairly and appropriately.
"So I hope it will provide some greater leads. But that is a matter for the appropriate bodies and that's the prosecutors."
Labour's shadow home secretary Yvette Cooper said the questions for Mr Koussa should include the subject of the 1984 killing of Pc Yvonne Fletcher during a protest outside London's Libyan Embassy, as well as those around Lockerbie.
