Lockerbie Bomber: Only 120 more months to live

[chanel]

LONDON — A doctor who said the man convicted of the bombing of Pan Am Flight 103 had only three months to live now says the Libyan could survive another 10 years, London's Sunday Times reported.

Abdel Baset al-Megrahi, who was convicted of 270 counts of murder for being behind the 1988 bombing over Lockerbie, Scotland, was released on compassionate grounds in 2009, after doctors said he only had a few months to live.

Specialist Karol Sikora told the newspaper it was "embarrassing" that al-Megrahi, who has prostate cancer and received a hero's welcome upon his return to Libya, had managed to outlive the prognosis.

The report is sure to re-ignite accusations that Scottish authorities bowed to pressure from Libya and the British government to release al-Megrahi, who American officials accuse of being an officer of the Libyan intelligence service.

The SAS needs to head south and make sure the original prognosis was correct.

Not too many of us in the world believed the UK's propaganda bullshit. It was all about oil. Funny now innit? the UK is gonna owe America many many many dimes for the oil they spilled. Is this Karma for the American blood spilled that the Uk traded for libyan oil?
