July 29, 2010Britain Reaction to Lockerbie
A new survey from Angus Reid shows lingering bitterness in Britain over the release of the Lockerbie Bomber:
In the online survey of a representative national sample of 1,992 British adults, three quarters of respondents (75%) oppose the release of Megrahi, a Libyan national, which was conceded on compassionate grounds by the Scottish government citing the prisoner’s poor health condition...Many Britons (41%) believe that the Scottish government’s decision to let Megrahi out of prison has something to do with the commercial interests of the British oil company BP, which has major operations in Libya.
