Scotland mulls Lockerbie bomber return to Libya
[Maghrebia] Scottish Justice Minister Kenny MacAskill will visit convicted Lockerbie bomber Abdelbaset Ali Mohmed al-Megrahi on Wednesday (August 5th) to decide whether to return the ailing Greenock Prison inmate to Libya on "compassionate" grounds, the Daily Record reported. Al-Megrahi, who is serving a minimum term of 27 years for the 1988 bombing of Pan Am flight 103 over the village of Lockerbie, was diagnosed with prostate cancer last year. Al-Megrahi will be able to return to Tripoli within a week if the minister approves his request. Posted by: Fred 2009-08-06 |
