    Taken from http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-africa-18137896
    Abdelbaset al-Megrahi, the only person convicted over the 1988 Lockerbie bombing above Scotland which killed 270 people, has died at his home in Libya.

    Megrahi, 60, was convicted by a special court in the Netherlands in 2001.

    He was freed from Scottish jail in 2009 on compassionate grounds because of cancer, stirring controversy when he outlived doctors' expectations.

    UK Prime Minister David Cameron said it was a day to remember the 270 victims of "an appalling terrorist act".



    What is your opinion now that accused bomber al-Megrah has died?

    Not a believer on an eye for eye, per-say, but if this gives any solace to any of the victims families, i hope they get some sort of sense of contentment, and that at least a 'chapter' of the tragedy has gone.
