Clinton to probe BP link to Megrahi

Hillary Clinton, the US Secretary of State, is to look into suspicions raised by American senators that oil giant BP was part of a deal to free the man convicted of the Lockerbie bombing in return for Libyan oil.

The four senators from New York and New Jersey, states that were home to many of the 189 American victims of the UK’s worst terrorist atrocity, want the company to halt its planned drilling in Libyan waters while an investigation takes place.
