Lockerbie case could end in possible release - 18 Aug 09

  • 12 years ago
The Scottish High Court is deliberating whether to grant Abdel Basset al-Megrahi, a Libyan man jailed for the 1998 airline bombing over the Scottish town of Lockerbie, an early release on compassionate grounds or transfer him to a Libyan prison.

The Libyan government has appealed to the Court to consider the two options as al-Megrahi is suffering from advanced prostate cancer.
