US President Barack Obama today regretted the decision of Scotland to release a Libyan terrorist involved in the bombing of Pan-Am Flight 103 that killed 270 people, including 189 Americans.
Libyans from all walks of life gave Lockerbie bomber Abdel Basset Ali al-Megrahi a rapturous welcome on his return to his native Libya late Thursday night, even as the survivors and relatives of those killed condemned his release and clamoured for justice.
