"Secret" Lockerbie Report Claim

Lawyers acting for the Lockerbie bomber are expected to ask the High Court to examine claims that vital documents were kept from the trial defense team. It is believed the documents may have undermined the case against Abdelbaset Ali Mohmed al-Megrahi. He is currently serving a minimum of 27 years for the l988 atrocity in which 270 people died when Pan-Am flight 103 exploded over Lockerbie. He is awaiting an appeal on the grounds of a possible miscarriage of justice.
