Despite some reports that the Libyan terrorist Abdel Baset Ali al-Megrahi had died, his Scottish lawyer and also his family insisted that the Lockerbie bomber is still alive and well.

Sky News reported this afternoon that there are reports that al-Megrahi has died. However, his Scottish lawyer Tony Kelly told Reuters that this report is “absolutely untrue”.

Also the terrorist’s family have denied that he had died and insisted that he is doing fine.

Al-Megrahi’s brother Abdul Hakim al-Megrahi told the Tripoli Post this evening that the Lockerbie bomber is doing fine and is receiving his treatment as scheduled by his doctor.

Al-Megrahi was released controversially in August from Scottish prison by Scotland’s Justice Minister Kenny MacAskill, on compassionate grounds.

Al-Megrahi, a Libyan agent, was convicted and jailed for life for the 1988 Lockerbie airliner bombing in which 270 people were killed.
