Youth in Asia 1,088 Posted May 20, 2012 I think it was pretty obvious from the evidence (or lack of it) that he wasn't involved in the bombing, though I'm sure he did a lot of bad stuff while working for Gaddafi Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest BBN Posted May 20, 2012 YES!!! He's gone. Joined the ones he killed. Megrahi is dead. No news on the Lockerbie bomber though... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
thefunkyfaz 51 Posted May 20, 2012 Been a long time coming. As has the first DDP hit for my "Crypt of Chortles" team. But this was the proverbial two birds slain by the same pebble (or something). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Banshees Scream 110 Posted May 21, 2012 The death of Abdelbaset Al Megrahi - a foreign name that we have all unfortunately memorized. I tend to forget the names of the radicals (especially once their dead) but here is the greatest exception of all time. Fuck him. The vast majority perceived him to be someone who didn't have long in this world, someone who was immediately joker gold. It was St.Peter who came wandering as he spoke of Al-Megrahi with interest and soon after it went down in history as he hit it big on the morbid market. Now anyone who is released on "compassionate grounds" is obviously given little consideration when it comes to the probability of survival beyond about we'll say maybe three months maximum. His doctors in Libya were these sick, these sick vicious liars. These sick liars who deprived justice and peace of mind for all. Well It's all over now.

welshman 31 Posted May 23, 2012 So a good decision to drop him last year and bring him back this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
maryportfuncity 10,684 Posted May 24, 2012 Fair point Welshman, the committee are often blasted for unsuccessful decisions and Megrahi's teasing performances are in there with Gabor and Biggs, so a good call...respect! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

maryportfuncity 10,684 Posted September 18, 2012 Re the cunt bit above...investigation currently gannin' on in Malta into some of the Lockerbie circumstances. This isn't over or fully explained yet. Granted AbA had some involvement and served time for a reason (even if it was on orders from home), but whether he really was the main bomber... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AbA pretty certainly got a miscarriage of justice. There's been some systemic covering-up over the years, so I'm not hopeful that this goes anywhere. Too many people still alive who are implicated.
