Lockerbie bomber on TV

THE man convicted of the Lockerbie bombing has appeared on Libyan television at a pro-governmental rally.

Abdelbaset al-Megrahi was released from a Scottish prison almost two years ago on compassionate grounds, after serving nearly eight years of a 270-year sentence for killing 270 people.

It was reported that during the apparently live broadcast, Megrahi was in a wheelchair.

Megrahi returned to Libya after being freed in August 2009. He had been diagnosed with terminal prostate cancer.
