The British public were urged to stay well away from released Lockerbie bomber Abdelbaset Ali al-Megrahi's website today by the British and US governments, who warned that hundreds of pages of newly-uploaded documents from his now-dropped appeal were "highly explosive", and there was a very real danger that his conviction could be blown out of the water if anybody actually bothered to read them.
Al-Megrahi took time out from dying of cancer to promise that defence submissions - detailing the flawed arguments, unreliable witnesses, paid informants, government interference and withholding of any evidence which undermined the prosecution case - would shortly follow the initial upload, which details his grounds for appeal and the reasons given by the Scottish Criminal Cases Review Commission for referring the case to the Appeal Court.
"We urge the public not to worry themselves with the ravings of a very sick man," cautioned Scottish Labour's justice spokesman, Richard Baker. "Successive British and American governments, and their secret services, have sworn all along that al-Megrahi is an evil murdering murderer who murderously murdered 270 murder victims by murdering them to death by murder. If you can't trust them implicitly - well, who can you trust?"
