Who was the terrorist released from prison who was supposedly being shown compassion because he had only 6 months to live and was alive some 18 months after his release. He was imprisoned in a foreign country, not sure which one but it was about 2-2.5 yrs ago.

That was the Lockerbee bomber, and I believe he went to Libya.
