Mystery surrounded the Lockerbie bomber last night after he could not be reached at his home or in hospital.
Libyan officials could say nothing about the whereabouts of Abdul Baset Ali al-Megrahi, and his Scottish monitors could not contact him by telephone. They will try again to speak to him today but if they fail to reach him, the Scottish government could face a new crisis.
Under the terms of his release from jail, the bomber cannot change his address or leave Tripoli, and must keep in regular communication with East Renfrewshire Council.
Politicians on both sides of the Atlantic and relatives of the 270 people who died in the 1988 bombing expressed anger about al-Megrahi’s disappearance. Richard Baker, Labour’s justice spokesman in the Scottish Parliament, said the whole affair was turning into a shambles and putting Scotland’s reputation at risk. “This flags up just how ludicrous it is that East Renfrewshire Council, a local council thousands of miles away from Libya, is responsible for supervising al-Megrahi’s conditions of licence,” he said.
Eliot Engel, a New York congressman, said: “I think it was a tremendous mistake to let him out in the first place. I don’t think a convicted terrorist has any integrity to abide by any type of agreement.”
Relatives of the victims were furious in August when Kenny MacAskill, the Scottish Justice Secretary, released al-Megrahi on compassionate grounds because he was expected to die of prostate cancer within three months.
On Sunday evening The Times called at the bomber’s home in suburban Tripoli. A policeman sitting on a plastic chair outside was asked to deliver a message to al-Megrahi. He spoke no English, but indicated that al-Megrahi was not there.
The next day The Times visited the Tripoli Medical Centre where alMegrahi was treated soon after his return

I’m shocked, shocked I tell you. Tomorrow’s headline - “There’s gambling in Las Vegas”.
Maybe they ask the SAS? They might know where they, uh, left what was left of him...
Hey, one can hope, right?
didn’t see that coming..nope..not at all..
Oh boy, I’m sure NO ONE saw this coming. What did the Scots expect was going to happen. That this murderous puke was going to keep calling in like a good boy from Libya? Suckers.
Well that's comforting. I'm sure there just a mistake. [/dripping sarcasm]
Fools.
Let’s just try to keep him away from airports.
The turds let him go, so who gives a *. If they didn’t want him to run away, they shouldn’t have let him go.
Getting some much needed R&R on a beach somewhere no doubt.
Abdelbeset Ali Mohmed al Megrahi al Cockroach would never have been released if Subcomandante Zero really didn't want it. This set the trend early for how seriously the Kenyan treats terrorism.
There's something surreal about this line . . .
Duh - what did they expect?
It’ll be interesting to see how Qaddafi handles this.
Actually, he could earn a lot of respect from me if he’d come out and state the obvious, namely: “Well what the heck did they expect him to do?”
And the UK gets owned by the muzzies yet again. Maybe they’ll finally figure it out on the day that some Grand Mufti sets up house in Buckingham Palace.
Here is the Plot,
Libyan Authorities gives a drug to cause tumors in the bomber, gets the government in Scotland to release him back to Libyan Authorities.
Now the bomber is given the Antidote. Bomber goes on Suicide Mission in Gaza.
He’s dead. And in other news... a man dressed in a kilt was seen leaving Libya with a satisfied smirk on his face.
Now, he can get back to doing what he does best: planning terrorist attacks.
Abdul Baset Ali al-Megrahi might be in Iran to get the Islamic version of the Nobel - sort of a war prize for killing infidels.
