Abdel Basset Al-Megrahi, Lost his appeal against conviction
A Libyan man convicted of the murder of 270 people who died in the Lockerbie bombing has lost his appeal against the conviction.
A Scottish court sitting in the Netherlands rejected the appeal of 49-year-old Abdel Basset Al-Megrahi. He had claimed that there was a miscarriage of justice in the original trial.
Mr Al-Megrahi will now serve out the remainder of the life sentence that was imposed on him last year. The Pan Am flight from London to New York blew up over Lockerbie in December 1988.
