Lockerbie bomber Megrahi is dead

Quote:
Abdelbaset al-Megrahi, the only person convicted over the 1988 Lockerbie bombing above Scotland which killed 270 people, has died at his home in the Libyan capital Tripoli.

Megrahi, 60, was convicted by a special court in the Netherlands in 2001.

He was released from prison in Scotland in 2009 on compassionate grounds. He was suffering from cancer and was said to have only months to live.

When he returned to the Libyan capital, he received a hero's welcome.

Shortly before being freed, Megrahi dropped his second appeal against his conviction.

His release sparked the fury of many of the relatives of the victims of the Lockerbie disaster.

But others believed he was not guilty of the bombing.

About bloody time.

Well, at least he wasn't clogging up a one of our prison cells - I bet it had a new inmate in it before he even flew out.

So I guess I will be the first to bring up this turds freedom being exchanged for oil rights for BP (aka The Gulf of Mexico destroyer)...

I am so glad to have subsidy recieving " job creators" like this.

Fascism at its finest, and this time you cannot blame the USA for it.

(edit: People locked up for drug charges (in the USA) serve more time than the 8 years this scumbag did FOR MASS MURDER)
