We last noted that Abdelbaset Ali al-Megrahi, the Lockerbie bomber, had survived the three months he was expected to live...now, he's either very sick, or, coming up on four months, someone decided to render him incommunicado: Mystery as Lockerbie bomber goes missing from home and hospital
Mystery surrounded the Lockerbie bomber last night after he could not be reached at his home or in hospital.
Libyan officials could say nothing about the whereabouts of Abdul Baset Ali al-Megrahi, and his Scottish monitors could not contact him by telephone. They will try again to speak to him today but if they fail to reach him, the Scottish government could face a new crisis.
Under the terms of his release from jail, the bomber cannot change his address or leave Tripoli, and must keep in regular communication with East Renfrewshire Council.
Politicians on both sides of the Atlantic and relatives of the 270 people who died in the 1988 bombing expressed anger about al-Megrahi's disappearance. Richard Baker, Labour's justice spokesman in the Scottish Parliament, said the whole affair was turning into a shambles and putting Scotland's reputation at risk. "This flags up just how ludicrous it is that East Renfrewshire Council, a local council thousands of miles away from Libya, is responsible for supervising al-Megrahi's conditions of licence," he said...
At risk? Snort.
Although it's been said,
Many times
Many ways...

Remember the VICTIMS of Pan Am 103
UPDATE - He has been found. The mass murderer is resting comfortably at home, having been released from the hospital "some time ago". The man who was given his freedom August 20th because he had "only weeks to live" is enjoying his retirement in Libya.
Eddie, if we are to boycott Scotland for giving freedom to a mass murderer, what do we do when our own government gives access to our courts in New York to a self-confessed mass murderer?
Both events are a slap in the face to the families of the victims, and a perversion of what is supposed to be justice systems.
Tom, Which mass murderer you are referring to?
If you are referring to the islamofascists currently in Gitmo, I don't see them being released until they are dead - unlike the "uk".
SuperMax in Colorado has a number of the animals convicted of the 1993 WTC bombing and they aren't going to be released until they are clinically dead - again unlike the "uk".
Mass murderers are a dime a dozen in Musselendom.
