More than six months have now passed since Libyan Lockerbie bomber Abdul Ali al-Megrahi was given a “compassionate” release from a Scottish prison — because he had less than three months to live.
Not only is Megrahi — who got life for his role in the 1988 bombing of Pan Am 103, which killed 270 — still alive, but the cancer that allegedly had him at death’s door reportedly has stabilized.
So instead of rotting behind bars, Megrahi’s apparently living a life of relative ease in Moammar Khadafy’s Libya.
Supposedly, he’s now taking a chemotherapy drug he couldn’t get in prison — and which might have kept him in stir.
No matter; Megrahi is alive and free, and laughing at Western justice.
And may well be for a while longer.
