Lockerbie Bomber Filmed 'On His Deathbed'

DAILY RECORD (Scotland): LIBYA yesterday allowed a British TV crew to film the Lockerbie bomber "on his deathbed".

Pictures on Channel 4 News last night showed Abdelbaset al-Megrahi on a drip, connected to a heart monitor and wearing an oxygen mask.

Unshaven Megrahi apparently could not reply when the reporter asked him a question. One of his sons said: "He is deteriorating fast."

But there was no way to independently assess the bomber's condition, and observers suggested it was in Libya's interests to make Megrahi's health look worse than it was. >>> Dave King | Monday, August 31, 2009
