Lockerbie bomber freed, returns to cheers in libya
The man convicted of murdering 270 people by blowing up Pan Am flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland, two decades ago received a boisterous welcome when his plane landed in his native Libya on Thursday. Abdelbeset Ali Mohmed al Megrahi, suffering from terminal prostate cancer, was freed from prison in Scotland, with Scottish Justice Secretary Kenny MacAskill citing compassionate grounds for the release and saying al Megrahi was “going home to die.” A large crowd, waving flags and honking horns, greeted al Megrahi at the military airport in Tripoli. The 57-year-old has three months to live, according to Scottish authorities. “Our justice system demands that judgment be imposed but compassion available,” MacAskill said. “Our beliefs dictate that justice be served but mercy be shown.” Al Megrahi issued a statement that his attorney Tony Kelly read to reporters. In it, al Megrahi said the families of the Lockerbie victims “have my sincere sympathy for their unimaginable loss.” “Many people … I know are upset that my appeal has come to the end, but nothing more can be done about the circumstances of the Lockerbie bombing,” al Megrahi said in the statement. “I share their frustration. I had most to gain and nothing to lose about the whole truth coming out, until my diagnosis of cancer.” Al Megrahi continued to maintain his innocence, complaining that he had to spend years in prison for something he did not do. “The remaining days of my life will have to be spent under the …

When will the United States punish Luis Posada Carriles for blowing up Cubana Flight 455 , on 6 October 1976 , killing all 73 people on board ?
Are kilts now going to be called “skirts”?
You are exactly right. These sewer rats see any gesure of compassion as a sign of weakness to be exploited. Their inferior, pedophile worshiping culture only understands violence and death.
Amen
Those Lybian dancing in the street should all be put down like the mangy dogs they are. This is not a clash of civilizations. Its a clash between the civlized and the uncivilized. Keep in mind that Khadaffi was a big Obama supporter.
This Pardon has Obama’s fingerprints all over it. Khadaffi is coming to NY in September. This is how the US state department operates in “smoothing relations”. US officials only pretend faint outrage AFTER the videos appear on Youtube of a “terminally ill” terrorist tap dancing in the arab street.
I think William Wallace would be rolling in his grave over this.
