It would be an opportune time to curse the soul of the Lockerbie bomber who is reported to be on his death bed.
This animal was responsible for blowing up a Pan Am jet (Flight 103) plane over Lockerbie Scotland in 1988. My brother had a classmate who died in that attack.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lockerbie_bombingPan Am Flight 103 was Pan American World Airways' third daily scheduled transatlantic flight from London Heathrow Airport to New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport. On Wednesday December 21, 1988, the aircraft flying this route — a Boeing 747–121 registered N739PA and named “Clipper Maid of the Seas” — was destroyed by a bomb, killing all 243 passengers and 16 crew members.[2] Eleven people in Lockerbie, in southern Scotland, were also killed as large sections of the plane fell in the town and destroyed several houses, bringing total fatalities to 270. As a result, the event is also known as the Lockerbie bombing.
http://content.usatoday.com/communities/ondeadline/post/2011/08/lockerbie-bomber-found-in-libya-close-to-death/1Lockerbie bomber Abdel Basset al-Megrahi has been tracked down in Tripoli, dashing rumors that he had been taken out of the Libyan capital, The Telegraph and other news organizations are reporting.
Earlier, we reported in On Deadline that U.S. politicians had called on Libyan leaders to turn over al-Megrahi and that Libya's new ruling council would not. Before this most recent discovery, al-Megrahi has surfaced on occasion in Libya.
Al-Megrahi was discovered by reporters from CNN comatose and near death, surviving on oxygen and an intravenous drip. The cancer-stricken former Libyan intelligence officer is being cared for by his family at his Tripoli villa.
Al-Megrahi may be the last person alive who knows who in the Libyan government ordered the bombing of Pan Am Flight 103, which killed all 259 people on board and 11 in the town of Lockerbie, Scotland, below, in December 1988.
Al-Megrahi was freed from prison in 2009 in Scotland after serving eight years of a life sentence. Doctors treating him for prostate cancer gave him three months to live. Authorities released him on compassionate grounds.
Here is the mention of my brothers friend who died in the terrorist attack:
