Abdelbaset Mohmed Ali al-Megrahi is in his house – the big new one Gaddafi gave the man who was jailed for the biggest act of mass murder on British soil. He killed 270 people in the Lockerbie bombing. He might now be wishing he was back in a Scottish prison.

Libyan rebels said they were less than 20 miles (30 kilometers) from Moammar Gadhafi's main stronghold of Tripoli on Sunday, a day after opposition fighters launched their first attack on the capital itself. Fighters said a 600-strong rebel force that set out from Zawiya has reached the outskirts of the village of Jedaim and was coming under heavy fire from regime forces on the eastern side of the town.
