Both Mr Barr and Mr Mueller have taken part in remembrance events with families over the years. Police Scotland's chief constable, Iain Livingstone, said the charges were a "significant development" and that they will "continue to work closely" with the US and other international authorities.
He said it was "inappropriate to comment further" at this time. Mr Barr said he was "pleased to announce that the United States has filed criminal charges against the third conspirator Abu Agila Mohammad Masud for his role in the bombing".

Twenty-nine years ago, as acting Attorney General, he announced the first indictments of suspects in the Lockerbie case.
Today, in one of his last acts as Donald Trump's top legal officer, he said events had come "full circle," with the unsealing of charges against Abu Agila Mohammad Masud.
