Decision reached on bomber's fate

A decision has been reached which could see the Lockerbie bomber freed or transferred to jail in Libya.

The Scottish justice secretary has said he will announce the fate of Abdelbaset Ali al-Megrahi on Thursday afternoon.

Megrahi, 57, is dying from terminal prostate cancer.

The BBC revealed last week that Megrahi was likely to be released on compassionate grounds.
