The health of the Lockerbie bomber is deteriorating so fast that European cancer specialists are being flown to Tripoli in a chartered aircraft to treat him, Abdul Baset Ali al-Megrahi's brother has told The Times.
"He's in a bad situation. The last check-up was very, very bad... He's dying," said Mohammed al-Megrahi, who doubted his brother would live another month. "We are really worried about him, but it's the wish of God."
Mr al-Megrahi would not, or could not, say where the specialists were coming from or who was paying for them.
A Libyan government official said that al-Megrahi "has been admitted to the emergency room in the hospital. He is in a bad way. He is unable to speak to anyone."
A hospital spokesman said: "Because of the treatment he is receiving, his immune system is very weak."
Critics of the Scottish Government's decision to release al-Megrahi last month have questioned how ill he really is, but there seems little doubt that he is in his final weeks, or even days.
This afternoon, after a vigorous debate at Holyrood, the Scottish parliament voted not to endorse the Government's decision to release al-Megrahi last month, although opposition parties are not planning to push for a full no-confidence vote.
Annabel Goldie, leader of the Scottish Tories, said: "This was a bad day for Alex Salmond’s Government and for the First Minister himself. Releasing the Lockerbie bomber was a bad decision, made badly."
When The Times interviewed him in his Tripoli home on the day after his release on August 20 al-Magrahi looked very frail,

Keeping up appearances.
I call B.S. He’s probably busy plotting his next hit.
Ok, if this mass-murderer dies within mere days of being released then I guess I can get over it.
Especially if we get solid leads on who is paying for his cancer care.
May God have mercy on his soul.
Tis a greater luxury than what he afforded the 270 people he murdered.
How fast did his victims fade? Trust me, he’s not fading fast enough!
Hopefully in great pain. I wish he was contagious.
I smell fish !!
God wants him dead too?
“European cancer specialists are being flown to Tripoli”
Why?
Didn’t Allah the all powerful first invent muslim doctors and they cured the entire world.
Can’t they fix him?
Maybe the packed some swine flue with him when they shipped him out of jail.
“He’s in a bad situation. The last check-up was very, very bad... He’s dying,” said Mohammed al-Megrahi, who doubted his brother would live another month. “We are really worried about him, but it’s the wish of God.”
Seems like this would make him a good suicide bomber candidate.
Cover story. He is being put in the Libyan terrorist protection program and assume another identity.
I hear getting your ass kicked out of the back of a helicopter at 3,000ft cures cancer pretty quick.
FYI, the Libyan People's Bureau (Embassy) used to keep chickens in the courtyard.
Is it wrong of me to want to BLOW UP the chartered aircraft flying in his medical specialist? Perhaps over a populated city, populated by those who cheered his release?
Sniff sniff, tears of sadness.
Sniff, sniff, fishy story.
“He’s in a bad situation. The last check-up was very, very bad... He’s dying,” said Mohammed al-Megrahi...
WOO HOO!
That would be poetic justice.
