quote:Libyan dictator Colonel Muammar Gaddafi has been accused of personally ordering the Lockerbie bombing by former justice minister Mustafa Abdel-Jalil.
Abdel-Jalil claims he has proof that the Libyan leader was behind the 1988 bombing of PanAm flight 103 over Scotland, which killed 270 people.
He told a journalist for Swedish newspaper Expressen that Gaddafi personally conversed with Abdelbaset al-Megrahi and ordered him to carry out the attack.
Colonel Gaddafi accepted Libya's responsibility for the Lockerbie bombing and paid compensation to the victims' families in 2003. However, this is the first time that he has been seen as directly behind the attack.
Abdel-Jalil claimed that: "To hide it, he [Gaddafi] did everything in his power to get al-Megrahi back from Scotland."
Meanwhile,
quote:LOCKERBIE bomber Abdelbaset al-Megrahi has been enjoying chauffeur-driven trips in a Lamborghini to see his new mansion being built in Libya.
Witnesses have seen Megrahi being driven to the sprawling home in one of Tripoli's most exclusive areas.
The convicted mass murderer has been visiting the site once a week. He arrives either in a red Lambo or in a giant Hummer.
So, the US will take the War on Terror to another front: Libya
quote:Barack Obama will demand the Lockerbie bomber as the price of supporting a new government in Libya.
The US President says the deportation of freed Abdul Baset Ali al-Megrahi is a condition of him backing the rebels if they win power.
Mr Obama wants Megrahi to be tried in the States for putting a bomb on the New York-bound jet that blew up over Lockerbie, Scotland, in 1988, a crime for which he was convicted by a Scottish court
Cancer-stricken Megrahi has disappeared in Libya where he has been living after being released from jail because he supposedly had only months to live,
Intelligence sources fear he has been taken into ruler Colonel Muhamar Gaddafi’s own compound - and that Libyan leader would rather kill him than let his Lockerbie secrets be revealed.
