When the craven dhimmi Brits freed him for oil, they should have seen this coming a mile off. "Mystery as Lockerbie bomber goes missing from home and hospital," by Martin Fletcher, Tim Reid and Angus Macleod in The Times, December 16 (thanks to Morgaan):
The Lockerbie bomber appeared to have gone missing last night after he could not be reached at his home or in hospital.Libyan officials could say nothing about the whereabouts of Abdul Baset Ali al-Megrahi, and his Scottish monitors could not contact him by telephone. They will try again to speak to him today but if they fail to reach him, the Scottish Government could face a new crisis.
Under the terms of his release from jail, the bomber cannot change his address or leave Tripoli, and must keep in regular communication with East Renfrewshire Council.
Politicians on both sides of the Atlantic and relatives of the 270 people who died in the 1988 bombing expressed anger about al-Megrahi's disappearance. Richard Baker, Labour's justice spokesman in the Scottish Parliament, said the whole affair was turning into a shambles and putting Scotland's reputation at risk. "This flags up just how ludicrous it is that East Renfrewshire Council, a local council thousands of miles away from Libya, is responsible for supervising al-Megrahi's conditions of licence," he said....
Relatives of the victims were furious in August when Kenny MacAskill, the Scottish Justice Secretary, released al-Megrahi on compassionate grounds because he was expected to die of prostate cancer within three months.
On Sunday evening The Times called at the bomber's home in suburban Tripoli. A policeman sitting on a plastic chair outside was asked to deliver a message to al-Megrahi. He spoke no English, but indicated that al-Megrahi was not there.
The next day The Times visited the Tripoli Medical Centre where al-Megrahi was treated soon after his return to Libya. The receptionists said that he had left the hospital some time ago.
Back at al-Megrahi's home, there was no sign of activity. One of three security officers sitting in a grey Mercedes car outside said: "They've all gone." He refused to elaborate.
Alerted by The Times, Jonathan Hinds of East Renfrewshire Council tried to telephone al-Megrahi at his home yesterday. He spoke to a Libyan man who said al-Megrahi was too ill to speak to him.
Mr Hinds has called al-Megrahi every other Tuesday since August, and has always been able to speak to him. Yesterday was not one of the regular Tuesdays, so al-Megrahi would not have been expecting a call.
"We will continue to attempt to call Mr Megrahi tomorrow and will then consider the situation," a council spokesman said. If there were grounds for suspecting al-Megrahi was breaching the terms of his release, "we would report that to the Scottish Government and it would be up to them to decide what action to take"....
Even so, Bill Aitken, the Scottish Conservative justice spokesman, called for an immediate investigation. He said: "This is outrageous and there will be intense anger that Britain's biggest mass murderer appears to be able to disappear."...
Uh, yeah.
Britain lets this guy go, but they attempt to indict Tzipi Livni for war crimes for Israel's defense against Gaza rockets. The Islamic Republic of Britain, that is.
"released al-Megrahi on compassionate grounds because he was expected to die of prostate cancer within three months."
Well, they DID say al-Megrahi would die within three months; maybe that's why he's not answering the phone ... because he's sitting there, dead :/
That photo is so sweet; what a nice family-type guy.
When my Father-in-law was dying from cancer he certainly didn't look that healthy.
I'm sure al-Megrahi would have only allowed a medical from a moslem Dr. and they wouldn't have lied, would they?
Doh!
This is what will happen when we bow to Islam. It is not worth it. For the moment it may seem to be, but what about tomorrow? What about our children and grandchildren? There is no respect for international law or legal agreements in Islam. Just their own agenda and goal to take over!
Do you remember Lockerbie? Bodies dropping out of the sky? How can the enormity of the crime be forgotten?
Where's Wahab?
We need to get back to the old law. Wanted Dead or Alive. As Jew Dog points out, the authorities were issuing a bogus arrest warrant for Ms. Livni while they should have been offering a cash reward for the return of al-Megrahi dead or alive.

Whoa, whoa, wait just one minute here! Look what the article says, you guys!:
See? There's no problem! They have an agreement!It's obviously all a misunderstanding. Could be he changed his phone number. Did anyone consider that?!
Well, if he can't be located, all that has to happen is for the East Renfrewshire Council to swing into action. He'll be found, no matter where he is, and brought back to face Scottish justice in no time.
Dispositive in microcosm of the precipitous decline of British justice, patriotism and common sense. Disgraceful would be too innocuous a word to describe what has transpired by the release of this detritus of the human race. It is painful for one like me who has no British blood in him, but who greatly admires what Britain achieved through the centuries in almost every area of human endeavor, to see how the abuse of freedom and ignorance of heritage has led to a mindless immigration policy and the tedious and no longer humorous mockery of one's own culture. National suicide has no upside to it. Enoch Powell should have been listend to, but he wasn't. Britain is paying an enormous price for ignoring such a man.
That is a scary photo.
Dear Robert - I check out this site on my fav(s) but I often neglect to tell you what a great job you do and there are many of us who really appreciate you informing the public on the issues at Jihad Watch. So thankyou. I wish it were all hyperbole but sadly, you usually are right on the mark - Bill in N.J.
I figured they would have his "funeral' by now anyway...
In less than a week, it will be twenty-one years since Pan Am Flight 103 from London to New York exploded over the small Scottish town of Lockerbie, killing all 259 people on board along with 11 people on the ground.
Many of the passengers were American exchange students heading home for the holidays.
Merry Christmas, Kuffars!
So, a few argentinians go ,arrest a british officer in the bottom of the world where nothing is there and it is war. Almost 300 civilians die in Scotland by the hands of Libia, but it is not war.At least the americans took 9/11 for what it was.The Malvinas were taken back and renamed again.The same should be done with any country once a war against it has been waged and won.Libia shold be british now.I mean, with a new name and all.After all the british need to have a second home with a different weather.Opportunity lost.Likewise, Afghanistan should be american by now, i am sure they would convert it into a garden, transgenic opium and all that.
And so on.
What is happening now is exactly that but from the other side.
Didn't those objecting to the release of this criminal warn this would happen? The outrage should be driven home with all the force possible, straight back at the British. I would rather place trust in a deceitful muslim than the British, at least you know the muslim will lie to you.
Doing deals with Muslims is like coming to a peace agreement with a hyena. The moment your back is turned it will take your head off.
The British government is also thinking of 'talking' to the Taliban in order to reach a power sharing agreement for Afghanistan. The Taliban must be laughing all the way to the mosque. How could a nation, that has lost so many servicemen to the bigots, be so bloody naive?
Do you think the justice minister will admit to being a victim of Islamic taqiyya?
I'm with "jewdog"...people like Tzipi Livni, who is merely acting for defensive purposes, are persecuted and yet they give in to the decptive tactics of Islamists and free a criminal guilty of terrorism(actually it was an act of war against the west-not mere terrorism).
I think we should wait and see whether Al has cleared off or simply gone on respite to a holiday home for terminally ill patients. Alternatively he and his cohorts could be secretly engaged in planning a memorial service for the victims on the 21st anniversary of the disaster. As we are constantly reminded by the MSM only a very small minority of members of the religion of peace are fanatics and terrorists, the vast majority are allah-fearing goody goods anxious to honor and respect both jews and christians of all races and skin color. Everyone knows the decent moslims believe the koran is flawed and non-binding when it calls for violence against followers of unislamic religions.
Altogether now . . .
"Oh where, oh where can al-Megrahi be? Oh where, oh where can he be?"
oh my how are we surprised at this, sarc/off, l wonder what these Scottish officials will say to the peons on their country?
Just fire a dozen Cruise missiles to Tripoli.
The fall of the Labour government is at hand.
What!? You thought he was just going to hang around and die? Jihad!
Hugh, I'm sorry, but the idea of the East Renfrewshire Council mounting a hot trod has me laughing so hard I am beginning to tear up.
hmmmmmmmm, maybe if the Scottish authorities unhid their number from caller id he would answer...maybe he thinks they are telemarketers...

Moslem doc, perhaps? After all, the poor country of Scotland has somehow gotten itself all mozzed up, now hasn't it?
Hugh.Are you serious,or is this with tongue in cheek?
Under the terms of his release from jail, the bomber cannot change his address or leave Tripoli, and must keep in regular communication with East Renfrewshire Council.

How the hell did the *East Renfrewshire Council*—rather than the Scottish or British government—wind up responsible for handling an international Jihadist?
Here is the East Renfrewshire Concil website—you can see that they usually deal with such matters as "Rubbish Bin Pick-up Dates" and "Council House Rent Rise Pegged at 3.5%"—all of which makes them immanently qualified to handle someone like Abdul al-Megrahi. sarc/off

How can people here be so dismissive of the East Renfrewshire Council?
Hugh was quite serious in his comment above.
You should know that the ERC has recourse to a whole range of actions available to it designed to enforce its' judgements and commands.
If these strict measures do not work then they may even go so far as to send a stiffly worded letter.
Not to Megrahi or Ghadafi of course, but to Alex Salmond, to ask for help.
StephenA55, I trust that things won't escalate beyond some tsk-tsking, a disapproving look or at worst a stern finger-wagging.
The women in the photo disgust me. Slaves. You Mass-Murderer-Lovers. You female immoral idiots.
Yes, I thought the same thing as you did, darcy, when looking at the two women. Could two people be any more clueless than they?
I think you are all being a little quick to judge the guy.
Maybe he is on his way back to Scotland to see his Doctor for a checkup.
He is a sick man after all and we all know how chaotic travel can be at this time of year.
