LONDON A former Libyan intelligence agent, jailed for the December 1988 bombing of a US airliner over Lockerbie in southwest Scotland, has been moved out of solitary confinement into another prison. Abdel Basset Ali Al Megrahi is serving a minimum 27-year prison term for his part in the downing of New York-bound Pan Am Flight 103 that killed 270 people. Placed in solitary confinement at Barlinnie prison in Glasgow since his conviction in January 2001, the 52-year-old was moved to Greenock Prison in Inverclyde where he will be allowed to mix with fellow prisoners, a Scottish Prison Service official said on Thursday.

#2 I lost a co-worker on Pan Am 103. He was returning from a business trip. He was a good guy who loved and supported a wife and two pre-teen kids. He was a hard worker with a lot of potential. The church was packed for his funeral and the line for the reception afterwards extended around the block. For almost a decade after he died, I passed by a little memorial to him every morning on the way into my office. I also passed by it every time I left the office to go on a business trip. I hope Abdel Basset Ali Al Megrahi's future is extremely painful. |

#1 How hard would it be to get put in the same cell with this bloke? I wonder how many of the survivors of the victims of the Lockerbie bombing would be will to do 'just enough' to get put near him. I wonder if there is a courtyard in the prison that is over looked by a nice tall building? I wonder how long his funeral will take? |
