'Unconscious' Lockerbie bomber may not recover after failed blood transfusion | | Lockerbie bomber Abdelbaset Ali Mohmed Al Megrahi, who is suffering from terminal cancer,
is unconscious and may not wake up, sources have revealed. Sources at a private
clinic in Tripoli, where 60-year-old Al Megrahi underwent an emergency blood transfusion
on Friday, revealed that he remained 'critical' and had not spoken for almost
two weeks. "He slipped into an unconscious state soon after the transfusion and
may never wake up," The Daily Mail quoted a source, as saying. A close family
friend confirmed the prognosis, saying Al-Megrahi's condition had deteriorated
'very seriously' over the past three days. According to the paper, a family of
Al Megrahi said they would be surprised if he lived for more than 'a short while
more'. Al Megrahi was the only person convicted in 2001 of the 1988 bombing of
Pan Am Flight 103 as it flew to New York from London. All 259 people aboard the
airliner died and 11 others in the town of Lockerbie were killed by falling wreckage.
