‘Compassionate Release’ for Lockerbie Bomber

Libyan Abdel Baset Ali Mohmet al-Megrahi was convicted in 2001 for his part in the 1988 bombing of a New York-bound Pan Am flight over Lockerbie, Scotland. A Scottish judge will release al-Megrahi from a Scottish prison today on compassionate grounds, due to his terminal prostate cancer.

We’re joined by Susan Cohen, whose daughter Theodora died in the bombing. Cohen is co-author of Pan Am 103: The Bombing, the Betrayals, and a Bereaved Family’s Search for Justice.
