Saif Gaddafi said Megrahi's case was "on the table" when commercial, oil and gas agreements were discussed. Was this true, and if so, which agreements? Why did Colonel Gaddafi thank the British government for Megrahi's release despite insistence by Westminster that there was a 'strategy of silence' between London and Edinburgh? Why has Gordon Brown, alone among international leaders whose countries are directly affected by al-Megrahi's release, remained silent on the matter? Does Jack Straw, Britain's Justice Secretary, agree with the decision of Scottish Justice Secretary, Kenny MacAskill, and the arrangements for al-Megrahi's release? Was Lord Mandelson invited to Saif Gaddafi's birthday party in Montenegro attended by marina investors including Oleg Deripaska? Did Lord Mandelson encourage Megrahi's release after his meetings with Saif Gaddafi? Did the Duke of York encourage Megrahi's release, as Colonel Gaddafi has suggested? Why did Megrahi drop his appeal against conviction even though it was not a legal precondition for his release on ground of compassion under Scots law? Did the Scottish justice department fear the appeal, based on six separate grounds identified by the Scottish Criminal Cases Review Commission, would reveal embarrassing information about the handling of the trial? Does Megrahi really have evidence of his innocence and, if so, who are the real bombers?Lockerbie release: 10 unanswered questions
