Lockerbie bomber's appeal rejected
A Scottish court rejected the appeal of a Libyan agent convicted of murder for planting a bomb aboard a US airliner that crashed over the Scottish village of Lockerbie in 1988, killing 270 people. Abdel Basset Ali al-Megrahi, 49, will now serve out the life sentence passed on January 31, 2001 by a special Scottish court sitting on "neutral" territory in the Netherlands.
