Lockerbie bomber: Public figures demand inquiry into conviction

Religious leaders, politicians and journalists have signed a letter calling for an independent inquiry into the Lockerbie bomber's conviction.

The plea comes two days after Abdelbaset al-Megrahi, the only person convicted of blowing up Pan Am Flight 103, died of cancer.

The Scottish government said it did not doubt the safety of the conviction.

However, it also insisted it did not have the power to order such an investigation into case.
