LONDON, England (CNN) — It was “deeply distressing” and “deeply upsetting” to see the convicted Lockerbie bomber get a hero’s welcome in Libya, British Foreign Secretary David Miliband said Friday.
The way Libya handles the return of Abdelbeset Ali Mohmed al Megrahi will determine its place on the world stage, Miliband said.
Al Megrahi, 57, was freed Thursday from the Scottish prison where he had been serving a life sentence for the 1988 bombing of Pan Am flight 103. He suffers from terminal prostate cancer and has three months to live, Scottish Justice Secretary Kenny MacAskill said.
Mr. Minister, did you expected anything different from Lybia?. It was the right decision to send him back. I personally wouldn’t have spent a penny to treat him.
