Gaddafi's Son Says Lockerbie Bomber's Release Was Tied To Oil Contracts

The AFP reports that "the release of Lockerbie bomber Abdelbaset Ali Mohmet al-Megrahi was linked to trade deals with Britain, Seif al-Islam, the son of Libyan leader Moamer Kadhafi, said in a interview. … 'In all commercial contracts, for oil and gas with Britain, (Megrahi) was always on the negotiating table,' said Islam, interviewed late Thursday as he accompanied Megrahi on the flight back from Scotland to Libya. 'All British interests were linked to the release of Abdelbaset al-Megrahi,' Islam said in an interview broadcast by Libyan TV channel Al Mutawassit on Friday."
