Lockerbie: Megrahi’s cancer is spreading

The health of Abdelbaset Ali Mohmed al Megrahi is deteriorating with cancer spreading throughout his body, a Libyan hospital source has revealed on the 21st anniversary of the Lockerbie bombing.

The 57-year-old was said to have arrived at the Tripoli Medical Centre, where he is being treated for prostate cancer, coughing and vomiting.

“A scan has shown a worsening of the disease, which has spread more than before,” said the hospital source.
