'Thank God for Gordon': Gaddafi orders Libyans to pray for Gordon Brown
Libya will mark the first anniversary of the release of the Lockerbie bomber Abdelbaset Al Megrahi by thanking God for Gordon Brown and Kenny MacAskill, the two men who let him go.
Colonel Gaddafi, the countrys dictator, has ordered prayers to mark Fridays anniversary of the decision to free Al Megrahi from a Scottish prison on compassionate grounds.
The Libyan leader is keen to avoid a repeat of the international condemnation sparked by the decision to give the convicted terrorist a heros welcome when he returned to Libya on August 20, 2009, allegedly with just three months to live.
