Labour did 'all it could' to secure release of Megrahi
Activer le mode zenNigel Morris and Kim Sengupta
"Gordon Brown's government did "all it could" to help Libya secure the release of the man convicted of the Lockerbie bombing, a report by Britain's top civil servant concluded yesterday.
"Sir Gus O'Donnell, the Cabinet Secretary, said that ministers developed a policy which was designed to "facilitate" the release of the Libyan Abdelbaset al-Megrahi.
"The Scottish government claimed that the Brown administration altered its position because of "commercial considerations" - including lobbying by BP, which was preparing to develop oilfields off the Libyan coast."
