US may release Lockerbie files

The US Government is ­deciding whether to release all of its Lockerbie files, after Alex ­Salmond called for full ­disclosure – including details of the ­contacts between the UK Government and BP.

With a Senate hearing just four days away, the focus is beginning to fall on the exchanges between Washington, Edinburgh and ­London in the run-up to the release of Abdelbaset Ali ­Mohmed al Megrahi, the man convicted of the Lockerbie bombing.
