Lockerbie bomber found dying in Libya

Calls for Abdelbaset al-Megrahi to face extradition appear redundant after footage emerges showing him close to death The campaign for the extradition of Abdelbaset al-Megrahi, the man convicted of the Lockerbie bombing, has in effect ended after footage emerged showing him apparently close to death. Calls for his rearrest from US senators, lawyers and relatives of Lockerbie bombing victims appeared redundant given Megrahi?s abject condition in images recorded at his mother?s house in Tripoli. The Scottish first minister, Alex Salmond, said the Scottish government ?never had any intention? of asking for Megrahi to be returned to jail. Andrew Mitchell, the UK government foreign minister, said the question was now ?academic? after CNN broadcast footage showing Megrahi lying in bed unconscious and apparently ?at death?s door?. Mitchell said the Tories had opposed Megrahi?s original release on compassionate grounds in 2009, but that the question of whether to extradite him was a matter for the Scottish government. He added: ?It?s clear that many of these matters are now academic as his life is drawing to a close ? it?s clear from reports today that he has not got much longer to live.? Megrahi?s son Khaled and brother Abdul Nasser al-Megrahi told reporters at the family home that Megrahi was now comatose and close to death. They said he had been without proper medical attention for several days, claiming his medication had been looted from pharmacists during the rebel advance into Tripoli
