Lockerbie bomber undergoes transfusion

The Lockerbie bomber has undergone an emergency blood transfusion.

It is understood Abdulbaset al-Megrahi's health deteriorated suddenly last night and he had to be rushed to hospital in Libya.

The 60-year-old is suffering from advanced prostate cancer.

He was freed from a Scottish jail on compassionate grounds in 2009 following claims he only had months to live.
