CNN Exclusive: Lockerbie bomber comatose, near death, family says

Tripoli, Libya (CNN) -- Lockerbie bomber Abdel Basset al-Megrahi is comatose, near death and likely to take secrets of the attack on Pan Am Flight 103 to his grave.

CNN found al-Megrahi under the care of his family in his palatial Tripoli villa Sunday, surviving on oxygen and an intravenous drip. The cancer-stricken former Libyan intelligence officer may be the last man alive who knows precisely who in the Libya government authorized the bombing, which killed 270 people.

"We just give him oxygen. Nobody gives us any advice," his son, Khaled Elmegarhi, told CNN.

Al-Megrahi was freed from a prison in Scotland in 2009 after serving eight years of a life sentence for blowing up the Pan Am jet, killing all 259 on board and 11 in the town of Lockerbie below. Doctors who had been treating him for prostate cancer gave him just three months to live, and he was released on compassionate grounds.

That is a lie. I advice him to take a knife and plunge it into the creeps heart.

He’s dying so we had to let him go - that always seemed like a non sequitur to me. He’s got cancer - Yea? what’s your point? Ya gotta die somewhere. No tragedy if he’d died in prison in my mind.

Mind boggling! The CIA doesn’t have the first sign of a clue where that bomber is; but CNN knows the exact BED he’s lying in, and his medical prognosis, to boot! Why isn’t Ted Turner running the CIA? /Sarc!

Released supposedly with 3 months to live in 2009, it's now late 2011, and he's still alive? Someone needs to examine those doctors.

I saw a story headline saying he was “at death’s door.” Let him in!

My first thought was why hasn’t this animal been put down with a shot to the head. I guess we didn’t have any missles to spare but hopefully a CIA op can get in there and get the job done.

He murdered hundreds, there is no reason to show him mercy. Personally I’d enjoy seeing him suffer by eliminating his oxygen flow and water, but finality is also good.
