The SCCRC said Megrahi, currently serving a 27-year minimum sentence, is entitled to a new appeal because he may have suffered a miscarriage of justice in 2001 when...

Al-Qaeda's killing of the anti-Taliban commander is often said to have paved the way for 9/11: a pre-emptive elimination of a likely ally of the U.S., which was bound to invade Afghanistan in response to the attacks...
