MacAskill slammed

THE Scottish Justice Secretary has been criticised in a parliamentary report for the way he handled the release of the Lockerbie bomber.

The report said the visit to the prison was "inappropriate" and also said a second opinion should have been obtained on the medical evidence which paved the way for the cancer-stricken bomber's release.
