Amid growing questions “about the medical prognosis given to Pan Am Flight 103 bomber Abdelbaset al-Megrahi that allowed his release from a Scottish prison on compassionate grounds, U.S. Senators Robert Menendez (D-NJ), Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY), Frank Lautenberg (D-NJ) and Charles Schumer (D-NY) today requested the disclosure of al-Megrahi’s full medical records,” according to a press release.
In a letter to Scottish First Secretary Alex Salmond, the senators asked the Scottish government to provide the full medical information or to request al-Megrahi’s permission to release the information, if such permission is necessary. In addition, the senators asked the Scottish government for the names, medical training and specializations of the doctors who examined al-Megrahi.
