Here’s some more stuff about Lockerbie - and NuLab is looking more and more shifty and sleazy:

Britain accused of breaking promise to US over Abdel Baset Ali al-Megrahi

From that link:
‘A former Cabinet minister and two sources close to talks over the handover of suspects in 1999 told The Times that Robin Cook, then Foreign Secretary, promised Madeleine Albright, US Secretary of State at the time, that anyone found guilty would serve their sentence in Scotland, where the airliner exploded with the loss of 270 lives.

A senior US official said: “There was a clear understanding at the time of the trial that al-Megrahi would serve his sentence in Scotland. In the 1990s the UK had the same view. It is up to them to explain what changed.”

Yep - quite a few people in Gord’s cabinet have a lot more explaining to do!
