Abstract
- The article focuses on Abdelbaset Ali Mohmed al-Megrahi, the Libyan agent found guilty of the bombing in Lockerbie, Scotland in 1988, who returned home from a Scottish prison in August 2009. The cited reason behind the decision of Scottish Justice Secretary Kenny MacAskill to free the bomber was that he is dying of terminal prostate cancer and should be allowed to spend his remaining days with his family. It notes the opposition of the U.S. and several Libyans to the move. It cites grounds for granting compassionate release to prisoners in Great Britain.
