Lockerbie Bomber Freed

Lockerbie Bomber Freed

Scotland freed terminally ill Lockerbie bomber Abdel Baset al-Megrahi's on compassionate grounds today, allowing him to die at home in Libya despite American protests that mercy should not be shown to the P.O.S. responsible for the deaths of 270 people.

Al-Megrahi, 57, was convicted in 2001 of taking part in the bombing of Pan Am Flight 103 on Dec. 21, 1988. He was sentenced to life in prison. The airliner, which was carrying mostly American passengers to New York, blew up as it flew over Scotland. All 259 people aboard and 11 on the ground died when the aircraft crashed into the town of Lockerbie.

The White House has said it "dee
ply regrets the decision" to free al-Megrahi and victims' families were quick to express their outrage.

Scotland Lets Lockerbie Convict Return to Libya

Murdering raghead greeted by cheering hordes

Cheering mobs greet freed bomber

THE only man convicted of the Lockerbie bombing returned home to a cheering crowd after his release from a Scottish prison, prompting warnings from the US that his treatment would have a serious impact on ties with Washington.

President Barack Obama told the Scottish government that Abdel Baset al-Megrahi's release was a mistake and warned Libya not to give him a hero's welcome. Mr Obama said the terminally ill Megrahi should remain under house arrest.

His release on compassionate grounds prompted outrage from many relatives of the 270 people who perished when Pan Am Flight 103 exploded in 1988.

"We have been in contact with the Scottish government, indicating that we objected to thi
s, and we thought it was a mistake," Mr Obama said in a radio interview yesterday.

"We're now in contact with the Libyan government and want to make sure that if, in fact, this transfer has taken place, that he's not welcomed back in some way, but instead, should be under house arrest."

Despite the warning, a crowd of thousands, many waving Scottish flags, gathered at Tripoli airport to welcome Megrahi as he stepped down from Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi's private jet to the strains of patriotic music.

He had changed from a white tracksuit and baseball cap into a dark suit and tie during the flight and was leaning on a gold-rimmed walking stick as he emerged from the aircraft to be hugged by Colonel Gaddafi's son.

He was then taken in a motorcade to the city centre, where the main square was lit up in green and blue in preparation for a celebration that included a feast and laser show.

Al-Jazeera reported that Megrahi's car was held up along the way by the throng.


In the city centre, groups of young men, many in white baseball caps like the one Megrahi was wearing as he left Glasgow, or T-shirts bearing his face, dashed excitedly from one side of the square to the other trying to catch a glimpse of him.

The terrorist had served less than eight years of a life sentence for the 1988 bombing. He was released from Greenock prison near Glasgow on the orders of Kenny MacAskill, the Scottish Justice Minister, on the basis of medical reports that he had terminal cancer and had less than three months to live.

Within the hour, Megrahi had left the country. The flight was diverted away from the town of Lockerbie as a mark of respect for the families of the victims.

In Libya, Megrahi, 57, is seen as an innocent scapegoat the West used to turn this African nation into a pariah. "It's a great day for us," Abdel-Aal Mansour, 24, said. "He belongs here, at home."

In a statement after his release, Megrahi stood by his insistence that he was wro
ngfully convicted.

"I say in the clearest possible terms, which I hope every person in every land will hear, all of this I have had to endure for something that I did not do," he said.

He also said he believed the truth behind the Lockerbie bombing might now never be known.

"I had most to gain and nothing to lose about the whole truth coming out -- until my diagnosis of cancer," he said, referring to an appeal that he dropped in order to be freed. "To those victims' relatives who can bear to hear me say this, they continue to have my sincere sympathy for the unimaginable loss that they have suffered."

Downing Street maintained its stance that the decision was one for the Scottish government, but Opposition Leader David Cameron described the grounds for release as completely nonsensical.

"If there's a view that the conviction is in some way unsafe, then the proper process is an appeal and the presentation of new evidence. But if this is about genuine release on compass
ionate grounds, I think it is wrong."

Iain Gray, the Scottish opposition Labour leader, said: "If I was first minister, Megrahi would not be going back to Libya. The decision to release him is wrong."

The Scottish parliament will be recalled on Monday to discuss the case. Megrahi abandoned his appeal against conviction amid allegations of a top-level cover-up to prevent the exposure of a grave miscarriage of justice.

Libya keeps Lockerbie bomber under wraps

Libya kept the Lockerbie bomber out of sight Friday, apparently wary of hurting its improving ties with the West, as Britain's foreign secretary denounced his warm homecoming and warned that the world's view of Tripoli will be damaged if it trumpets his release.

A crowd waving Libyan and Scottish flags threw flower petals as Abdel Baset al-Megrahi landed Thursday night at Tripoli airport following his release from prison by Scotland. The son of Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi, who was on the flight escorting him home, raised al-Megrahi's hand in victory at the aircraft's door.

But even as al-Megrahi descended from the airplane, Libya seemed to scramble to scale down plans for an elaborate welcome. Hundreds in the crowd were rushed away by authorities, the arrival was not aired live on state
TV and al-Megrahi was quickly whisked away to an unknown location.

On Friday, officials had no comment on his whereabouts. Libyan television did not report on al-Megrahi, concentrating on sports and stories about the holy fasting month of Ramadan, which began in Libya on Friday.

British Foreign Secretary David Miliband on Friday denounced the welcome al-Megrahi received, telling the BBC that how Gadhafi's government behaves in the next few days will "be very significant in the way the world views Libya's re-entry into the civilized community of nations."

Prime Minister Gordon Brown wrote to Gadhafi before al-Megrahi's release urging Libya to "act with sensitivity."

When the Uninformed attempts to make the argument that Muslims worship the same God as Xtians, remind them how the Muslim loves murderers and celebrated this murdering coward's release from prison.

The Muslims' prophet was a blood thirsty murdering chld molesting plagiarist that simply stole the Jews' religion and modified it to suit his own criminal acts and today's Muslims still gleefully murder each other even in their "holy" mosques over disagreements over Muhammed's bloodline relatives. Muslim law and tradition celebrates murdering their enemies, especially upon conversion, which they believe they are doing the newly converted a favor by sending them on to their heavenly reward. Muslims still practice slavery and mutliate people for criminal offenses and sexual perversions as they define that term and they even mutilate little girls for no valid reason
.

There can never be peace with a Muslim, or even between Muslims. To "tolerate" a Muslim, sooner or later, you will be forced to acknowledge the superiority of Muhammed in particular and Arabs in general, buy a prayer rug and submit yourself and your family to the local Imam neighborhood bully, who will be happy to take your property and sons and daughters and tax you for their "protection".

Do not forget history's lessons about Muslims or you or your family will be doomed to relearn them-it's best to have an ocean or mountain or desert between you and the Muslim and the Muslim's beliefs or they will outbreed and over run all the countries they inhabit.

With the way Muslims practice their "religion of peace", the Muslim god is not the same loving God described in the Bible. Never forget that: it ain't the same god.

It really is that simple.

British Government struck Secret Libyan Oil Deal for al-Megrahi Release !!!

DURING the past year a small ship bristling with computers and seismic equipment has been crisscrossing the Gulf of Sidra, in the Mediterranean off the Libyan coast. Its mission: to help to find BP’s next offshore oilfields.

The company’s search for oil off Libya and in a 20,000-mile area in the west of the country potentially offers as much as Ô�Å¡£15 billion in new revenue. But less than two years ago it was feared that the deal could founder — and the reason was wrangling over Abdelbaset Ali Mohmed al-Megrahi, the jailed Lockerbie bomber.

BP was finally given the go-ahead six weeks after a volte-face by the British government to include Megrahi in a prisoner transfer agreement with
Libya under which prisoners could serve out sentences in their home countries. Jack Straw rth: , the justice secretary, revealed this decision in a letter to his Scottish counterpart. He cited “wider negotiationsâ┚¬ and the “overwhelming interests of the United Kingdomâ┚¬ .

Sources in the UK and Tripoli said last week that those wider interests included BP’s hoped-for share of Libya’s untapped oil and gas reserves. The decision to include Megrahi in the prisoner transfer arrangement was seen by Libyan officials as paving the way for his release — and BP’s much-coveted deal was finally ratified.

BP last week denied the agreement was influenced by talks over prisoner transfers and specifically Megrahi. But other sources insist the two were clearly linked. Saad Djebbar, an international lawyer who advises the Libyan government and who visited Megrahi in jail in Scotland, said: “No one was in any doubt that if alMegrahi died in a Scottish prison it would have serious repercus
sions for many years which would be to the disadvantage of British industry.â┚¬

The detailed correspondence seen by The Sunday Times confirms that the Lockerbie bomber’s fate was regarded by the UK government as pivotal to relations with Libya. It also shows how anxious the government was to curry favour with Colonel Muammar Gadaffi by being seen to open the way for Megrahi’s release.

African Union Parliament MPs Hail Lockerbie Bomber as Hero

By BNP News

Several dozen parliamentarians from the “African Union” have cheered and hailed Lockerbie bomber Abdelbaset Ali al-Megrahi as a hero at his second public outing since being freed by the Scottish National Party and their Labour Party central government allies.

Mr Megrahi aroused public anger once before when he was given a rapturous welcome upon his return to Libya, but even this insult to the dead of Pan Am flight 103 and the people of Lockerbie paled into insignificance with the latest outrage.

The convicted Libyan terrorist was paraded in front of the African MPs wearing a completely unnecessary surgical mask in an obvious effort to elicit sympathy through the media,
but it was the reaction of his guests which drew the attention.

The 40 MPs broke into cheers, dancing and clapping when the terrorist was brought out before them. The Speaker of the African Union parliament, Idriss Ndele Moussa, who is from Chad, said he and his colleagues had come to “express solidarity.”

“He is the victim of international injustice and a policy of double standards,” Mr Moussa said. “I congratulated him for his return home and I found him very courageous despite his health condition.”
