Lockerbie bomber's health deteriorates 'dramatically' as he fights for life after blood transfusion

The Lockerbie bomber has been given an emergency blood transfusion following a sudden deterioration in his health, his brother revealed last night.

Libyan Abdelbaset Ali Mohmed Al Megrahi, who is suffering from terminal cancer, was taken from his home in Tripoli to the intensive care unit of a private hospital.

The news came less than a fortnight after he celebrated his 60th birthday.

He was released from prison in August 2009 on compassionate grounds with three months to live, but has survived for more than two-and-a-half years. …

Last night, Megrahi's condition was not known, but his wife Aisha was by his side at the private clinic with most of the couple's five children.

His death will mark the end of a long fight by the relatives of his American victims to get the former intelligence agent sent to face justice in the U.S.

Megrahi was the only person convicted in 2001 of the 1988 bombing of Pan Am Flight 103 as it flew to New York from London.

All 259 people aboard the airliner died and 11 others in the town of Lockerbie were killed by falling wreckage.

His release from Greenock prison by Justice Secretary Kenny MacAskill in 2009 was met with anger by President Barack Obama and David Cameron, who called Megrahi a 'mass murderer'. U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton also called for an inquiry, amid claims oil company BP had lobbied for him to be freed to clear the way for lucrative Libyan contracts. …

If he needs another transfusion, I’ve got an old bottle of Draino in the closet. Let me know...

How many YEARS ago was the Lockerbie bomber supposed to have died — 2009? That was the reason stated for his release: that he was terminally ill and had only weeks or months to live? What a bunch of do-do.

This clown’s terminal illness reminds me of the death penalty cases where the convicted is still inhabiting the planet 25 years after his conviction.
