On a cold day in December back in 1988, Pan Am Flight 103 crashed in Lockerbie, Scotland? It was latter determined a terrorist bomb had blown up the plane with 243 passengers and 16 crew members aboard. 11 people on the ground died from the debris of the fallen plane.
According to wikipedia.com: "In 2001, Abdelbaset Ali Mohmed Al Megrahi, a Libyan, was convicted of involvement in the bombing and sentenced to life imprisonment. On 20 August 2009, the Scottish Government released him on compassionate grounds to return to Libya as he was suffering from terminal prostate cancer and had a life expectancy of less than 3 months." he spent less than 8 years in prison.
lbaset Ali Mohmed Al Megrahi, received a "hero's welcome home" this week when he arrived in Tripoli, Libya. They had a major celebration in spite of Britian's Prime Minister sending a letter to Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi requesting that they handle the homecoming “with sensitivity” and "restraint".
Pan Am Flight 103 was heading to John F. Kennedy Airport in New York, so the plane was carrying mostly Americans. The families are infuriated over the release of this terrorist, and are demanding answers on how/why this mass murderer was released.
news flash. . . .news flash. . . .Doubts about Megrahi's 3 month life expectancy have already been raised, and the doctor who gave the prognosis may have been employed by the Libyan government.
I'll bet $5.00 that this terrorist bas**rd is still alive on November 26, 2009 (3 months from today), and if I had $100.00, I'd bet he is still alive this time next year.
It is also being investigated that British Prime Minister, Gordon Brown only made the deal to gain the release of Megrahi to obtain Libyan oil contracts.
According to cnn.com: "Next month Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi plans to pitch his Bedouin tent on the grounds of a Libyan diplomatic residence in suburban New Jersey during his visit to participate in the annual United Nations General Assembly".
The families of the victims of Pan Am Flight 103 should tell him where to stick his "tent".
