Lockerbie bomber calls

FOUR US senators have written a letter calling on Britain to investigate the circumstances surrounding last year’s release of the man convicted of the Lockerbie bombing.

Terminally ill Abdelbaset Ali Mohmed Al Megrahi was freed from prison and allowed to return to Libya on compassionate grounds in August last year.

New York Democratic senators Frank Lautenberg, Kirsten Gillibrand and Charles Schumer and New Jersey Democratic senator Robert Menendez have written to the British ambassador in Washington.
