Scotsman: "Fresh doubts have been raised over the conviction of the Lockerbie bomber Abdelbaset Ali Mohmed al-Megrahi after a report called into question evidence provided by a key prosecution witness.
Megrahi's lawyer yesterday voiced concerns about the evidence of prosecution witness Allen Feraday, who testified during the trial.
During the trial, Mr Feraday, now retired after 42 years' experience in explosives, told the judges that he was in no doubt that a fragment of circuit board found after the disaster was part of the detonator.
However, in three separate cases, men against whom Mr Feraday gave evidence have now had their convictions overturned. The latest was last month when Lord Woolf, the Lord Chief Justice, ruled that the conviction of Hassan Assali, 53, on terrorist conspiracy charges was unsound."
Right from the beginning it was clear Libya was the scapegoat. This simply was a deliberate miscarriage of justice.
