New evidence casts doubt in Lockerbie case
- 12 years ago
The conviction of a Libyan man for blowing up a passenger jet over Scotland in 1988 could be seriously undermined by new evidence.
It comes from a book by investigative author, John Ashton, called Megrahi: You are My Jury.
It examines the evidence presented in the case of the bombing of the Pan-Am flight 103 over Lockerbie.
The only man convicted in the case is Abdel Baset al-Meghrahi.
And Al Jazeera has now learned crucial scientific evidence was never handed over to Meghrahi's lawyers.
Al Jazeera's Harry Smith reports.
The full documentary, Lockerbie: Case Closed, will be broadcast on February 27 at 20:00 GMT on Al Jazeera English.
