The Lockerbie bomber al-Megrahi (57) has returned home to Libya and it is now party time in the Tripoli home illuminate with multi colored lamps. He was convicted of blowing up a Pan Am flight 103 in 1988 killing 207 passengers but has been released by the Scottish authorities since he is suffering from prostate cancer. A big tent has been erected near his residence to accommodate his friends and well wishers who have come to wish him on his release. The male members are staying here while the women are being ushered in indoors.
