He's now in a coma. Too bad, if he isn't suffering.

Truncated:

Megrahi was found guilty of bombing Pan Am flight 103 while en route from London to New York on December 21, 1988. All 259 people aboard the plane were killed and 11 others on the ground in Lockerbie also died from falling wreckage.

He was sentenced to a minimum of 27 years' imprisonment. Scotland's regional government, which operates a criminal justice system independent of London, decided to release Megrahi because he supposedly was suffering from advanced terminal prostate cancer.

He was released in August 2009 for compassionate reasons, after doctors estimated he only had three months to live. So he's already lived more years since he was given three months to live than some of the victims' had lived - their entire life time was shorter than his life since the three month diagnosis. And what did he serve - something like eight years? But do let him die in peace .........

I found this article about the bombing and I'm not saying it true or not I'm just wondering what your reaction to the article is. IS there a possibility the article could be true, yes or no and why? http://www.globalresearch.ca/index.php?context=va&aid=23362

There are numerous speculations and conspiracy theories. Obviously there were Libyans higher up involved as in the similar French case.

He would never dare name them.

I think on the basis of the trial- evidence and on the balance of probabilities, it is more likely than not that he is guilty as convicted.

Libya watchers say the Lockerbie bomber's continued imprisonment hugely complicated Britain's business prospects in Libya and might have torpedoed them had al-Megrahi died in jail in Scotland; at the time of his release, last Aug. 20, al-Megrahi had served eight years of a life sentence. British and Scottish officials have insisted that al-Megrahi was freed solely on compassionate grounds after a doctor declared that he would probably die from cancer within three months. Libya experts are skeptical, saying the business stakes were high. "If Megrahi died in jail in Scotland, there would have been high tension, and Libya might have frozen British contracts," says Guma El-Gamaty, a Libyan political writer in London. "Megrahi was a very, very emotive issue for Libya." Richard Dalton, Britain's former ambassador to Libya, says British companies were aware that they might be punished if al-Megrahi did not return home. "BP and other business interests knew perfectly well that if the Libyans did not get satisfaction on the four deals they'd agreed on with [former British Prime Minister Tony] Blair, there would be commercial consequences," he says. "That is the way the Libyans operate."

Not "compassionate grounds"...

He was released for a reason. Someone or some company or country benefited from his release. He was not release on a humanitarian thing at all.
