Storm As Lockerbie Bomber Enjoys Freedom

[AltarRock]

Lockerbie bomber Abdelbaset Ali Mohmed Al Megrahi is waking up a free man in Libya after he was given a triumphant welcome home.

The scenes of jubilation at the airport will further strain Tripoli's relationship with Washington.

The US has strongly disagreed with the decision by Scottish officials to release the cancer-stricken 57-year-old from prison on compassionate grounds.

President Obama says terminally ill Megrahi should be under house arrest - and the State Department warned Libya its actions could have a serious impact on future ties with the US.

He was freed by Scottish Justice Secretary Kenny MacAskill after serving seven years of his life sentence for 270 counts of murder.

Megrahi had changed out of the white tracksuit he wore on his release from Glasgow's Greenock Prison into a smart dark suit when he exited the plane at Tripoli airport.
