# LOCKERBIE
Scotland is to review the conviction of the only man found guilty of the 1988 Lockerbie aircraft bombing, Abdel Basset al- Megrahi, to decide whether to allow his family to launch a fresh appeal. The review comes six years after al- Megrahi’s death. @ Aameranwar said: “After three years of fighting for the case to be reopened – ‘ Lockerbie bomber ’ Megrahi conviction to be reviewed – we welcome today’s announcement but there is still a long road ahead in the pursuit of justice.” @ fitzscrounger added: “Hopefully evidence and truth and not geopolitics will determine the outcome.” @ Yescafeedsouth commented: “Good to see the Lockerbie Bomber verdict being challenged, it was a bad piece of political interference which blackened the good name of Scottish justice.” @ johnclim said: “A bit late, don’t you think?” @ davidleaworthy wondered: “What’s the point? He’s DEAD! A waste of public money I reckon.”
