Lockerbie bomber buried in Libya

THE only man convicted over the 1988 Lockerbie bombing has been buried with little fanfare near the Libyan capital. There were just under 100 family members and passers-by in attendance at the funeral of Abdelbaset al-megrahi. The quiet funeral intripoli stands in stark contrast to the hero’s welcome Megrahi received three years ago from his patron, dictator Muammar Gaddafi, upon his return to Libya after serving eight years of a life sentence in Scotland.
