Hundreds await Lockerbie bomber’s arrival

HUNDREDS of people awaited for the arrival of the terminally-ill Lockerbie bomber at Tripoli’s airport today as Libya celebrated his release from a Scottish prison.

Loudspeakers blared patriotic music as security personnel were out in force at the airport after Abdel Baset al-Megrahi, the only person found guilty of blowing up Pan Am Flight 103, was freed on compassionate grounds.

A source close to the Libyan delegation that accompanied Megrahi said Seif al-Islam, the son of Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi, was travelling with him.
