Senator Kevin O’Toole’s call for a congressional investigation into the controversial release of convicted Lockerbie bomber Abdelbaset Ali al-Megrahi was covered this weekend by the London Daily Mail:
O’Toole’s remarks were cited in an article discussing a proposed British inquiry into the release of Megrahi, the only person convicted in the terrorist bombing of Pan Am Flight 103.
The lives of 270 people, including 33 from New Jersey, were lost in the December 21, 1988 bombing over Lockerbie, Scotland.
It has been reported that Megrahi’s release may have been related to a pending trade deal involving Libyan oil.
