Last week, Abdelbaset al-Megrahi was released by the Scottish government after serving just eight years of his life imprisonment sentence. He was let off on compassionate grounds and allowed to go home to Libya, as he was suffering from terminal prostate cancer and had less than three months to live. The man was responsible for killing 270 people in an unimaginable act of terrorism after planting a bomb in a trans-Atlantic flight in 1988.
