This is a stitch up!

In a move that is likely to prove unpopular with the British and American intelligence communities, who had provided much of the "evidence" that was utilised to convict him, the man convicted of the bombing of a Pan Am flight over Lockerbie Scotland, Libyan national Abdelbaset Ali Mohmed Al-Megrahi, has been granted the right to appeal his conviction for a second time. After a three year investigation during which much of the evidence against him was found to be suspect and additional evidence came to light the Scottish Criminal Review Commission ruled that Mr. Al-Megrahi "may have suffered a miscarriage of justice". He has already spent over five years in prison.
