The son of Lockerbie bomber Abdelbaset al-Megrahi has lost an appeal against his late father s conviction.
The bombing of Pan Am flight 103, travelling from London to New York on December 21 1988, killed 270 people in Britain s largest terrorist atrocity.
Former Libyan intelligence officer Megrahi was found guilty in 2001 of mass murder and jailed for life with a minimum term of 27 years - the only person convicted of the attack.
A third appeal against his conviction was heard in November at the High Court in Edinburgh, before a panel of five judges sitting as the Court of Appeal.
Judges have now rejected both grounds of appeal, meaning his conviction stands.
