Wikileaks: Lockerbie bombing leak fears
FRESH details about the release of the Lockerbie bomber are believed to be among explosive US diplomatic documents set to be published by the whistle blower website Wikileaks this weekend.
With governments across the world bracing themselves for the release of hundreds of thousands of pages of classified papers and cables last night, there was growing expectation that some of the material will relate to the release of Abdelbaset Al Megrahi last year.
A Scottish Government spokesman said they had received no contact from the US Consul in Edinburgh about any information relating to their own actions. However, it is understood that among the millions of pages to be put up on the web over coming days is more information detailing US views on the bomber's return to Libya last August.
US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has personally contacted leaders in Germany, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Britain, France, China and Afghanistan.
