Hello PAN AM AIRS and many of my friends from our PAN AM. I have just come back from a trip to the storage facilities at Marina Pinal Park and came across an extrodanary piece of info from one of the Australian News papers namely the Sunday Mail here in Brisbane QLD. Here is what the article reads.
RETURN LIBYAN BOMBER;
Rome: Muammar Gaddafi has demarnded the return of the jailed Lockerbie bomber in an extraordinary encounter with British Prime Minister Gorden Brown.
The Lybian dictator used their first face to face meeting at the G8 meeting in Italy to raise the case of Abdelbaset Ali Mohmed Al Megrahi, who was convicted of the blowing up of PAN AM flight PA103 in 1988. He insisted that Al Megrahi, who is suffering from prostate cancer in a scotish jail be returned to Lybia.
Scotish judges this week delayed completing an appeal against his conviction until at least September. The Lybians insist he risks dying behind bars. Pending an appeal, the national;ist goverment in Scotland is considering a request for him to be allowed to serve the rest of his sentance in Lybia.
Relatives of some of the victims of the bombing said they would feel betrayed if Al Megrahi, a former Lybian secret agent, goes home.
Mr Brown said last night he had told the Lybian leader that he could not intervene,adding there;s a request from Lybia and that has to be dealt with by the Scotish administration.
Yesterday's meeting at the G8 sumit in L"Aquila, Italy, marked the latest stage in Col Gaddafi's journey from international pariah to man of trust.
In 2004 Mr Tony Blair flew to Lybia to restore relations with Lybia after years of this inquest into the downing of an American airliner in 1988 killing all on board and the familes and victims who died on the ground.
Well my personal opinion after what these people did which was a very cruel and criminal unjustified acts upon the victims there families and the crew they should remain behind bars made to suffer or die in prison. Did they have any remorse on what they did or even gave a thought to what they had done. "NO" Even today it's long gone but never forgotten and will always be remebered. I would like your thoughts from any one who reads this board or who the people who lost there loved one's of our people from PAN AM to list there thoughts on this. I feel it would be a great shame and mis trust to the British Goverment or to the G8 leaders to allow the removal of these people back to Lybia. Who knows they would be free over there and this could repeat again. Thank you Have a good one---WS
Regards
