MEGRAHI WENT FREE WITHOUT CABINET'S APPROVAL

THE release of the Lockerbie bomber was not discussed with Alex Salmond's cabinet before he was freed, oncesecret files have revealed.

The National Records of Scotland has published cabinet documents from 2009, including on Abdelbaset al-Megrahi's release from prison on compassionate grounds by former Justice Secretary Kenny MacAskill.

The ex-Libyan intelligence officer was the only man convicted over the murder of 270 people when PanAm flight 103 exploded over Dumfries and Galloway in 1988.
