The family of convicted Lockerbie bomber Abdelbasset al Megrahi say they are heartbroken after a posthumous appeal to clear his name over the 1988 attack was rejected.
The Libyan intelligence officer was the only person convicted of the attack on Pan Am flight 103, which was blown up over the Scottish town of
Lockerbie 33 years ago, killing 270 people.
He died trying to clear his name in 2009, but in recent weeks a Scottish court has heard a posthumous appeal on his behalf - which was rejected today.
Al Megrahi was found guilty in 2001 of the murder of all 243 passengers and 16 crew on the flight, as well as the murder of 11 people in Lockerbie, and was jailed for life with a minimum term of 27 years.
