British Prime Minister David Cameron said Sunday it was a day to remember the victims of the Lockerbie bombing following the death in Libya of the only man ever convicted of the atrocity.

"Today is a day to remember the 270 people who lost their lives in what was an appalling terrorist act," Cameron told British reporters at a NATO summit in Chicago, after relatives said Abdelbaset Ali Mohmet al-Megrahi had died.
