Bomber 'could die' in appeal wait
The cancer-stricken Lockerbie bomber could die before a decision is made on his appeal after new delays in the case, his lawyer has warned.
It was revealed that one of the judges hearing Abdelbaset Ali Mohmed Al Megrahi's long-running appeal against conviction has had heart surgery.
Scotland's top judge, the Lord Justice General Lord Hamilton, told the High Court in Edinburgh that Lord Wheatley's recuperation may be "protracted" and it is thought he will not be fit to resume judicial duties until mid-September.
