http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-africa-18137896<snip>
Abdelbaset al-Megrahi, the only person convicted over the 1988 Lockerbie bombing above Scotland which killed 270 people, has died at his home in the Libyan capital Tripoli.
Megrahi, 60, was convicted by a special court in the Netherlands in 2001.
He was released from prison in Scotland in 2009 on compassionate grounds. He was suffering from cancer and was said to have only months to live.
When he returned to the Libyan capital, he received a hero's welcome.

When we go about the world throwing our weight around like we have for years now. We have caused a lot of grief to a lot of people by allowing this underworld of ours to survive and prosper
*We* being that shadow government of ours.
