Britain was warned last night it faces ' payback time' from the U.S. over the release of the Lockerbie bomber.
The alert came as American consumers were urged to boycott British and Scottish exports and holiday in Ireland instead of the UK.
The special relationship was under strain over new allegations linking UK trade interests with the freeing of Abdelbaset Ali Mohmed Al Megrahi on compassionate grounds - he has terminal cancer.
U.S. government sources urged Gordon Brown to end his silence and Opposition MPs demanded records of all meetings between ministers and the Libyan regime.
Security sources expressed concern that counter-terrorism co-operation with the U.S. is in danger after the head of the FBI attacked Megrahi's release by Scottish Justice Secretary Kenny MacAskill as a 'mockery of justice'.
Lord Mandelson was also under growing pressure as new links emerged between his associates and the son of Libyan leader Colonel Gaddafi. The Business Secretary has angrily denied there was a deal to free Megrahi, who was pictured this weekend at home with his family.

Everything is made in China, what’s to boycott?
If this maggot isn’t dead in “two to three months”, his doctor needs to be strung up by his ‘nads! Get the rope!
Obama does not care that he was released, he is probably just using this to drive a wedge between us and the UK.
Scotch Whiskey — sadly.
There should be an FR dead pool for this guy.
I’ll take April 18, 2022.
Boycott? No, though since it’s rare that we come across anything British to buy, we’re boycotting already I suppose. It would be more useful to point to the leftist infiltrators in British government that pushes such moves.
February 3, 2031.
What exactly can we boycott. I can only remember tea and British biscuits.
“If this maggot isn’t dead in “two to three months”,”
Well, Libyan health care is so much better than that available in Scotland...
On a completely different tack, why not release Terry Nichols? He’s been in the can for quite a while now and didn’t kill anyone directly, he was merely an accessory. (I tried this piece of logic on a lib who was fine with releasing the state-sponsored terrorist. No way was it OK to release Nichols!!!)
Scotch Whisky plus it will put a dent into the Kennedy fortune.
Thanks. I’ll be using that one too! The liberals don’t care when their Islamofascist buddies do a crowd killer. They see it as “all good” since it reduces the world population.
I really hate the thought of not using Twinings Tea but it is a UK product.
Hang those limeys and shoot dem redcoats....sorry I got carried away.
Boycott? Huh? Oh, OK then...a boycott it is. I vow that not a single bite of Haggis shall pass these lips. That’ll larn ‘em.
M: Take the Jaguar Car, Bond, and do be careful and return it in one piece, this time. Q has some nice little toys for you to use on this assignment.
Q: See, Bond, you slip this into his dates and it imitates death from prostrate cancer...
Bond: Wouldn't we want to leave a message?
M: Bond, please, Whitehall's bolluxed this thing quite enough, thank you. I feel like I spend half my time, no more like ninety percent of my time cleaning up after Gordon Brown and Kenny MacArsehole. What am I, the char women of Whitehall?
Bond: Ah, the old days. We'd be screwing the KBG, literally and figuratively, while the Yanks were panting after us, with money and kudos...
M: ...and now we're catamites to oil sheiks and slavering cohort of horny princes looking for blonde bikini models ...
Bond: ...which I see as poaching...
M: Some of us Bond, have more important things to do than spending an inordinate amount of our time sleeping with air hostesses.
Bond: Really, sounds fascinating you must tell me about these important things some time.
If one is indeed in the offing, I'd say we hardly have the moral standing to take our displeasue out on rank & file Brits for what their freaky pols do, particularly after our duly eleced POTUS issued his bizarrely tepid protest - in fact he didn't protest the release at all, only the welcome home spectacle in Libya which he said was 'highly objectionable'!
So the claim was obviously made just to sensationalize the author's slam of the idiots who made this decision. (As if the Mail needed any help for that!)
The first I heard of it was on the Daily Mail UK site about 2 hours ago.
