But the investigators regarded them as unreliable: <BR/>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pan_Am_103#Claims_of_responsibility<BR/><BR/>There have been suggestions that Tony Blair and the UK Foreign Office were talking to Tripoli about the possibility of Megrahi's serving the remainder of his sentence in Libya. But the ultimate decision on this issue would be a matter for the Scottish Executive and not the UK government; and that the Scottish Executive has made it pretty plain that it is not interested in a prisoner transfer.

It is horrible to think that an innocent man may be languishing in gaol. I remember talk that he would be "allowed" to serve the rest of his sentence in Libya. Surely, that would ruin the chance of an appeal in Scotland and some uncomfortable headlines.Anonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08558877755039554871noreply@blogger.com
