Lockerbie Mass Murderer Abdelbaset Ali Mohmed Al Megrahi Rises Again At Easter: Pictures
ACCORDING to today’s Scotsman, Britain’s worst ever mass murderer, Lockerbie bomber and blogger Abdelbaset Ali Mohmed Al Megrahi, above in a Tripoli hospital, has less than four weeks to live.
Karol Sikora was one of the three specialists who last August refused to agree with a Scottish Prison Service doctor’s prognosis Megrahi had just three months to live. The man convicted of downing Pan Am Flight 103 which left from Heathrow Airport in London at 6.04pm on December 21, 1988 was released and flew home to Tripoli.
Mr. Sikora now says information from Libya on the state of Megrahi’s prostate cancer suggested he would be dead within a month.

Undated file photo : Lockerbie trial prosecution witness Tony Gauci's family-run clothes shop, Mary's House, in the seaside suburb of Sliema on Malta. Gauci linked one of the accused men, Abdelbaset Ali Mohmed Al Megrahi, with the crime. * but the trial judges rejected his claim that Al Megrahi visited his clothes shop and bought a sky blue baby romper suit, umbrella and adult clothes in the weeks leading up to the bombing. Detectives later traced charred pieces of clothing found the among the wreckage of Pan Am Flight 103 to Mr Gauci's shop.
The only man convicted of the murder of 270 people when the Maid of the Seas was blown up and much of the plane crashing in the Scottish Borders town of Lockerbie has survived almost eight months since his release.
His recovery was said to be ‘remarkable’ after the Scottish Government’s decision to free him.
At the time, Scottish justice secretary Kenny MacAskill justified the release on the grounds the former Libyan intelligence officer had less than three months to live, causing a world-wide storm of protest.
Later, it was discovered the decision was taken on the grounds of the sole opinion of the prison doctor.
According to the Scotsman : ‘Mr Sikora, who gets regular updates from Tripoli, said Megrahi is now in the last stages of his cancer.’
That would have to be, allegedly.
