course of the weekend, you remember, it s iconic, it takes you back to those moments of our childhood back in the 70s. gregg: just about every song on saturday night fever was a huge hit and people love to listen to that. i ll never forget sitting in my room, listen to go the music and looking at the album cover, over and over. we spent a lot of time scratching over that record those days. gregg: i miss my long collared shirts, bell bottom pants and those shoes. that was a hot look for me! music lovers around the world, mourning the passing of robin gibb. all right. did the death of the lockerbie bomber bring closure to the family of the lost loved ones? we ll get reaction from one of the mothers coming up next. martha: also this morning, florida senator marco rubio takes on president obama,
martha: well, victims families are still looking for answers after the only man ever convicted in the 1988 lockerbie bombing died in libya over the weekend. abdel bestet al megrahi was released on humanitarian grounds after his cancer diagnosis three years ago. at the time, he was to have three months to live and he lived three years. the bombing of that flight in 1988 included 270 people, including 189 americans and rosemary mild was one of the parents of one of those young people, she lost her only child, her daughter miriam on that flight, she has written two books about her daughter s life and she joins us now. rosemary, welcome, it s good to have you this morning. thank you. martha: thank you very much for being with us. i m curious what your reaction was when you heard that he had finally passed away. i m greatly relieved and hope we can get on with our
murdering 270 people in the 1988 bombing of pan-am flight 103. he was sentenced to life in prison with a minimum of 20 years. a second defendant was acquitted and set free. well, that s the daily flashback. al megrahi was found guilty in the lockerbie bombing. he was released in 2009 on so-called compassionate grounds, diagnosed with terminal cancer, months to live, but megrahi is still alive and late last night reiterated his claim of innocence. voting in florida has been under way for two hours as republican primary voters make their mark on a contentious primary battle. but there was no hint of that when romney held his final event last night in the villages. he led what was an older crowd in song. oh beautiful for spacious skies, for amber waves of
abdel ma sed al-megrahi. he s the only person ever convicted in connection with the 1988 bombing of pan-am flight 103 which killed 270 people, mostly americans. scotland released el me gras hi from prison on compassionate grounds when he was supposedly on his death bed. that was two years ago. now the u.s. is asking politely for the rebels to review the case, and in the meantime, the west is holding millions of dollars in frozen assets. dominic, it would seem that, you know, financially the u.s. has some leverage to bargain with here, and yet so far the rebels don t seem inclined to hand this guy over. reporter: it s going to be interesting just how much the united states can convince the u.n. to use this as a bargaining chip. you re right there. but they seem to be pretty firm in the fact that it isn t going
