Funny how I was just yesterday listening to an interview by David Icke referring to this in detail.

Listen to the MP3 from Red Ice Radio it's good

The health of the freed Lockerbie bomber has 'greatly improved' now he is home in Libya, Colonel Gaddafi's son boasted yesterday.

He said Abdelbaset Ali Mohamed al-Megrahi was doing much better since being released seven months ago by the Scots on compassionate grounds because he had 'only three months to live'.

In words which will confirm the suspicions of Lockerbie victims' families, Saif Gaddafi - widely tipped to succeed his father as Libyan leader - also finally admitted that the convicted killer's release had
dominated trade talks with Britain.

Hero's welcome: Abdelbaset Ali Mohamed al-Megrahi (left) returns home to Libya with Saif Gaddafi

This would have included discussions about lucrative oil deals, despite the fact that Megrahi was officially released purely on compassionate grounds. Five months after the release, Libya announced
plans to invest £5billion in the UK.

Megrahi, 57, has acquired national hero status in Libya, with babies named after him and an extraordinary 30,000 well-wishers reported to have visited his 'death bed'. Queues of pilgrims form outside the
sumptuous villa in Tripoli where he remains with his family despite
doctors' predictions that he would be dead by Christmas.

London-educated Saif Gaddafi told the respected Arab newspaper Asharq Al-Awsat that Megrahi 'was sick and was released for humanitarian reasons, and was soon in better health and in a good condition. His
future is now in God's hands'.

Ministers in London always insisted the decision to free Megrahi was entirely in the hands of the Scots, while Scottish Justice Secretary Kenny MacAskill denied he was under any pressure to release the
convicted bomber.

Terrorist outrage: 270 people were killed when Flight 103 exploded over Lockerbie in December 1988

Megrahi, who completed a course of chemotherapy in December, is usually seen propped up in bed. Groups of well-wishers are allowed in half-a-dozen at a time to spend a few minutes with him.

His eldest brother, Mohammed Ali, said: 'The public response is not a political one, but a show of support for someone who is much loved.

'My brother sacrificed ten years of his life to assist in the lifting of the economic blockade against Libya.'

Some relatives of victims of the 1988 bombing of Pan Am Flight 103 suspect Megrahi was never as sick as he claimed to be. They believe it was an unforgivable mistake to release the convicted terrorist.

Days after dropping an appeal against his conviction for the 270 deaths caused when Flight 103 exploded over Lockerbie, Megrahi flew home to a hero's welcome.

It later emerged that he had £2million stashed in a Swiss bank account before his conviction.
