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.

He wouldn't live 10-years if we had a CIA that wasn't neutered by an incompetent CIC.

The scam to get this POS out of the slammer worked. Someone made a bunch of money off that deal.

released on compassionate grounds

Under NHS rules, doesn't that make him eligible for euthanasia?

After all those scandals and mismanagement and the economy, the Labour Party still came close to keeping control of the government.

I’m not a Joe Scarborough fan by any means, but he had an interesting take on the release, “Scarborough: Obama Admin Must Have Signed Off On Lockerbie Terrorist Release”

http://newsbusters.org/blogs/mark-finkelstein/2009/08/31/scarborough-obama-admin-must-have-signed-lockerbie-terrorist-relea

I don’t know what happened with this story after that- probably buried by the MSM, like everything else.

Al-Megrahi’s condition is probably improving because he’s no longer receiving treatment from U.K. socialized medicine.

This was discussed here a while back and by the Brits. The allegation was blood for oil, involving BP.

“There was a 50 percent chance that he would die in three months,” he added, “but there was also a 50 percent chance that he would live longer.”

Duh! What a mathematical geniass.

According to this link it's 10 to 20...

Megrahi call has embarrassed me

Professor Karol Sikora - whose prognosis helped get Libyan Abdelbaset Ali Mohmed al-Megrahi released - has now confessed the killer could live another 20 years.

This just in: Lockerbie Doctor accidentally falls off the London bridge while the Lockerbie Bomber dies of “severe lead poisoning”.
