It's a year since the release on compassionate grounds of Libyan Abdelbaset Ali Mohmet al-Megrahi who was convicted of blowing up a US airliner over the Scottish town of Lockerbie in 1988, killing 270 people. Doctors advising politicians in Scotland had said Megrahi only had three months to live. The decision to release him is now the object of a US Senate inquiry. Duration: 00:28.
