Lockerbie bomber scores comfy pad

"He killed 270 people...but now he lives in own prison flat with an en-suite toilet, sofa, shower, telephone and Arabic TV piped in to help unwind Abdelbaset Ali Mohmed Al Megrahi was sentenced to life in 2001 for his horrific attack, which blew up a packed Pan Am airliner over a tiny Scottish town. But although caged in one of Britain's toughest jails, our exclusive pictures show the 51-year-old monster occupies a suite with facilities to rival a four-star hotel... His rooms are kitted out with a colour television, video recorder, stereo and personal computer. Prison bosses have even piped Arabic TV station Al-Jazeera - famed as the mouthpiece of terror chief Osama bin Laden - into his cell. Meanwhile, unlike other prisoners forced to barter their precious phonecards, Al Megrahi is allowed unlimited access to the telephone."

yeah, this is a good way to deter terrorism

That is completely insane and makes me angry. Those people are dead because of what he did. Dead is permanent. He did it with full intentions of killing them. What are they thinking. This man needs to wake up and be afraid every day for the rest of his life. he should wake up and think to himself how stupid it was for him to do what he did, not even out of remorse, but regret because of the situation he would be in.

yeah if anything all this will do is reinforce terroist ambition's to go ahead with bombings on innocent people...this is terrible

that really pi55es me off! I live about 4 miles from where he is "imprisoned" you should see some of the estates around the area. his surroundings are a lot nicer than those of many people who live nearby. And who pays for it? - the same bl00dy people who live in such crap accommodation, along with everyone else in the country who works for a living!

rant over, deep breaths, think nice thoughts............(Abdelbaset Ali Mohmed Al Megrahi getting put into the general wing along with some real prisoners )
