http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=126198LONDON – British intelligence agents say convicted Lockerbie bomber Aberbaset Ali Mohamed al-Megrahi, who was released from his Scottish prison on compassionate grounds because he had less than three months to live due to terminal prostate cancer, half a year later is living in Tripoli close to his "hero," Col. Muammar Gadhafi, the mercurial president of Libya, according to a report from Joseph Farah's G2 Bulletin.
Al-Megrahi no longer receives any treatment in the exclusive Tripoli clinic, founded by Gadhafi. He spends part of his day sitting in a tent that Gadhafi gifted him so he can sit in the shade in the grounds of the spacious villa where he lives with his wife and five grown-up children.
Most days he receives relatives who join him in the tent. The 57-year-old bomber appears to be outwardly physically well. He no longer wears a surgical mask and walks without the aid of a stick.
Prof. Karol Sikora, the London-based doctor who examined al-Megrahi prior to his release to ensure his condition was terminal, predicted the bomber would be dead by last October.
This week he said, "The fact that he is still alive may be difficult for the families of those who died in the attack on Pam Am 103."

The flight exploded over Lockerbie in Scotland in December 1988, killing 243 passengers, 16 crew and 11 people on the ground.
Last year, after al-Megrahi had served eight years, Kenny MacAskill, the Scottish Justice Secretary, ruled he could be released as he had less than three months to live.
The decision came after Gadhafi warned that lucrative oil and trade deals with Britain would be jeopardized if the bomber died in jail.
Since his release, al-Megrahi has been feted in Libya, including visits by Gadhafi and the country's top cancer specialists.
In London, Dr. Christopher Parker of the Institute of Cancer Research said predicting the length of life for a terminal patient with prostate cancer was imprecise.
