Last week, The Daily Telegraph revealed how US cables, obtained by Wikileaks, showed how within weeks of Megrahi first being diagnosed with terminal cancer in 2008, Bill Rammell, the Middle East and North Africa minister, wrote to his Libyan counterpart on how the development could be used as the grounds of securing his release.Most of the correspondence over Megrahi’s release remains secret but The Sunday Telegraph has seen emails and letters between British, Scottish and Libyan ministers, most of which are heavily censored. They show that the Libyans were exploring ways of securing Megrahi’s release, firstly by moving him to Libya under the terms of a prisoner transfer agreement (PTA) and then on compassionate grounds.
