Lockerbie bomber Megrahi dead
Citing unnamed sources in Westminster, Sky News political editor Adam Boulton said: "Official sources in Westminster are seeking to confirm reports that the Lockerbie bomber may have died."

Megrahi, who had been jailed in Scotland after being convicted of masterminding the 1988 bombing of Pan Am Flight 103, was released in August on compassionate grounds by Scottish Justice Minister Kenny MacAskill.

Megrahi was suffering from prostate cancer and had been given less than three months to live, Sky News said.
