Libyan authorities made the application on behalf of Abdel Basset al Megrahi, who was sentenced to life for blowing up a Pan Am airliner over the Scottish town of Lockerbie.

This doesn’t sound that unreasonable to me.
First let the son of a ***** give back the 270 lives that were lost, and repair the last 21 years’ worth of damage to their families, then he can be freed.

Release him to my backyard. Dead within a second and my gatos could feast.
El gato doméstico?
I agree, let him go....
The next time Pan Am flies over Libya open the door and drop him off!
As he experiences the 32 feet per second per second, he can consider the murders he committed.
Sure he can go free. Right after I install this 357 round into his head so we can locate him easily.
Watch the chosen one agree to this so he can “Cure” the wrongs that previous administrations have done. I wouldn’t put it past him one bit.
Good idea, but it will have to be a different airline. Pan Am went out of business shortly after the bombing.
Well, maybe they let Libya off the hook, but I wouldn’t let this guy go...
lmao
Why? Are they claiming he found Jesus?

Lockerbie bomber steps closer to leaving Scottish prison system
By Michael Ireland
Chief Correspondent, ASSIST News Service
EDINURGH, SCOTLAND (ANS) — The High Court in Edinburgh, Scotland has accepted the Lockerbie bomber’s request to drop his appeal against his conviction, according to London’s Premier Radio.
Premier Radio reports the decision from three judges at the High Court means Abdelbaset al-Megrahi could now be transferred to a Libyan prison, or released on compassionate grounds because of his terminal cancer.
But Megrahi’s decision to drop his last chance of clearing his name means he will die a guilty man, and the truth of the bombing may never be known, the radio station says.
His Queen’s Counsel (QC) Maggie Scott told the court medical reports from three eminent experts agreed that he had “very aggressive cancer” and that “the prognosis is extremely limited.”
Premier radio says there’s been mounting political pressure from American families for him to remain behind bars in Scotland. But the news was met with disappointment by British families who supported Megrahi’s release.
Canon Patrick Keegans was a parist priest in Lockerbie at the time of the disaster in 1988 which brought down TWA flight 800. He said this latest development leaves many questions unanswered.
“Dropping the appeal has great consequences for everyone not just for Mr Megrahi, who has a right to clear his name,” he said.
“The truth about Lockerbie is very, very dubious. It’s not been very clear exactly what happened. There are grave doubts about what happened before the disaster.”
Premier Radio says that a letter from the US senators has urged the Scottish Justice Secretary Kenny MacAskill to ensure Megrahi serve the remainder of his sentence in Scotland. However, Canon Keegan said he disagrees with the letter and Scotland must not be swayed by pressure from America.
He said: “I wrote to Mr MacAskill and urged him to release Mr Megrahi and to be courageous enough to allow the appeal to continue. This is an opportunity for Scottish justice to stand up for what is right.”

“Homecoming for Lockerbie bomber”
SNIPPET: “Megrahi was welcomed by well-wishers on his arrival in Tripoli”
SNIPPET: “The Libyan man jailed in Scotland for blowing up a US airliner over Lockerbie in 1988 has arrived back in Libya after being set free.
The Scottish government released Abdelbaset Ali al-Megrahi, who is 57 and has terminal cancer, on compassionate grounds.
US President Barack Obama said the move was “a mistake”, and some relatives of US victims reacted angrily.
Most of the 270 people who died in the bombing were Americans.
In a radio interview, Mr Obama said: “We have been in contact with the Scottish government, indicating that we objected to this. We thought it was a mistake.”
He added that his administration had told the Libyan government that Megrahi should not receive a hero’s welcome and should be placed under house arrest.”
SNIPPET: “Correspondents say the Libyan authorities will regard his release as a triumph.
Hundreds of people waved Libyan flags as his plane landed at Tripoli airport at 1830 GMT.
Within minutes Megrahi was whisked away to meet Libyan leader Col Muammar Gaddafi and then his elderly mother, the BBC’s Christian Fraser reports from the scene.
Compassion
It was a jet owned by Col Gaddafi that carried Megrahi back to Libya after his release on Thursday from Scotland’s Greenock Prison.”
Adding additional video of the mass murderer’s hearty welcome to Libya — greeted as a returning hero, in my opinion:
