US tourists' views on Lockerbie bomber

Americans on holiday in Edinburgh have been giving their views on the release of the Lockerbie bomber, Abdelbaset Ali al-Megrahi.

The Scottish justice secretary Kenny MacAskill has said he stands by his decision to free Megrahi on compassionate grounds.

Some of the tourists were asked if the controversy would discourage US visitors from coming to Scotland.
