Lockerbie Bomber Might Live Another Ten Years; BP Gets Libyan Support

Abdelbaset Ali Mohmed al-Megrahi, the Lockerbie bomber released by Great Britain out of sympathy for his limited life expectancy, is still alive 11 months later, and the doctor who examined him (and was paid by Libya) says he might live another ten years or more.

Coincidentally, it appears that BP will be getting a new investor in the name of Libya's sovereign wealth fund, as well as a potentially lucrative, multi-billion dollar drilling contract off of Libya's coast. But the two were unrelated, I'm sure.
