Congress wants to know why the Lockerbie bomber is still alive 13 months after being released with three months to live.
Convicted Pan Am Flight 103 bomber Abdelbeset al-Megrahi, released from a Scottish prison last year on humanitarian grounds, is not terminally ill, a New Jersey senator asserted Wednesday.
The release of convicted Pan Am Flight 103 bomber Abdelbeset al-Megrahi from a Scottish prison last year was a "grievous mistake," a U.S. senator said Wednesday.
Lockerbie bomber Abdelbeset al-Megrahi is "a very sick man," but there is no way to tell how long he will live, according to the father of one of the people who died in the 1988 bombing of Pan Am Flight 103.
In a statement ready by his lawyer, Abdelbeset Ali Mohmed al Megrahi maintains that he did not bomb Pan Am Flight 103.
The Scottish Parliament on Wednesday formally condemned the decision to release Lockerbie bomber Abdelbeset al Megrahi from prison in a blistering rebuke to the government that made the decision.
"I am praying every day that I will see my parents before I die," the Lockerbie bomber wrote in a plea to be set free from a Scottish jail, previously secret documents released Tuesday by the Scottish government show.
