Scotland seeks contact with Lockerbie bomber [ His health improved out of UK socialized Med care ]

Scottish officials overseeing the parole of a Libyan man convicted of the Lockerbie bombing said Monday they want to contact him now that the fighting between Libyan forces and rebels has reached Tripoli.

Abdel Baset al-Megrahi was convicted in 2001 of murdering 270 people by blowing up a U.S.-bound Pan Am plane over Lockerbie, Scotland, on Dec. 21, 1988.

Scotland freed him from a prison there on compassionate grounds on Aug. 20, 2009, after prison doctors said he had prostate cancer and incorrectly estimated he had only three months to live.

He is still alive, and last month he appeared at a televised rally in Tripoli alongside the embattled Libyan leader, Moammar Gadhafi.

George Barbour, a spokesman for East Renfrewshire Council near Glasgow, said the council wants to reach al-Megrahi soon.

The council keeps tabs on al-Megrahi through regular video link conferences, and Barbour said there has been no breach of his release conditions or cause for concern about his parole.

Al-Megrahi is the only person convicted of the Lockerbie bombing, Britain's worst terrorist attack.

His release infuriated the families of many Lockerbie victims, who suspected Britain's real motive was to improve relations with oil-rich Libya.

Given his miraculous recovery from terminal cancer, he’s not going to return their emails.

They'll probably bring him back to the UK as a refugee who might be in danger due to his association with Khadaffi.

No, I'm not joking.

Given that BP got the contract to build the pipeline and refinery - that is a great cure for terminal cancer.

Since he pimped himself out for Gadhaffi, he may soon be found dead.

I’m sure that your average Libyan rebel would do it for a good price. Sounds like a cake sale to me.

” Scotland freed him from a prison there on compassionate grounds... he had only three months to live...He is still alive, “

I say the only compassionate thing to do is to put him out of his misery.
