The former Libyan intelligence officer convicted of the 1988 Lockerbie bombing that killed 270 people has died, his brother has confirmed.
Abdel Basset al-Megrahi died at home after a long battle with cancer. He was 59.
His health had deteriorated quickly, his brother Abdulhakim said.
"He was surrounded by his family and died in his house," he added.
Megrahi had been in and out of hospital for weeks and he was taken for an emergency blood transfusion in April.
He was held in a prison in the town of Greenock in western Scotland after he was tried and convicted for the bombing under Scottish law, although the trial was held in the Netherlands.
In November 2008, Megrahi's lawyers asked a court to free him on bail, saying he was suffering from advanced prostate cancer.
He was later released from the Scottish prison on compassionate grounds and returned to Libya, a decision criticised by the US.
Megrahi, who served as an intelligence agent during the rule of Libyan dictator Muammar Gaddafi, denied any role in both the bombing and suspected human rights abuses in his home country before Gaddafi's fall and death in a popular uprising last year.
