Scottish government yet to come to a decision on Lockerbie bomber release

Megrahi
The Scottish government have said no conclusion has been made on releasing the man convicted of the 1988 Lockerbie bombing.

The government declaration followed reports that Abdelbaset Ali Mohmed Al Megrahi, serving a life verdict for the bombing that killed 270 people, could be released on compassionate grounds.

The 57-year-old is distress from terminal prostate cancer. A court discarded his appeal for release last November, saying he could be treated at a prison hospital, but left open the door for future appeals.
