Scottish court refuses to free Lockerbie bomber
AFP - 1 hour 48 minutes ago
LONDON (AFP) - - A Scottish court refused Friday to release on bail the Libyan man jailed over the 1988 Lockerbie bombing, after he applied to be freed because he has terminal cancer.
Abdelbaset Ali Mohmet Al-Megrahi, jailed in 2001 over the bombing which killed 270 people, does not have long to live and should be released on compassionate grounds, his lawyers say.
But the Appeal Court in Edinburgh refused the application, saying that he could receive medical treatment in prison, a lawyer said.
