Public anger at bomber release anniversary

Relatives of victims of the Lockerbie bombing have described their continued distress that the man convicted of the atrocity remains in Libya almost two years to the day since he was freed on compassionate grounds.

Those who oppose the decision, made by Scottish Justice Secretary Kenny MacAskill on August 20 2009, insist Abdelbaset al-Megrahi should not have been freed from jail in Scotland.
