Ah, so is it just terrorists, or radical islamic terrorists?

Because in the Lockerbie case, 1 of the 2 men was acquitted, 2nd one has been convicted but granted another appeal in 2007 due to a possible miscarriage of justice.

It's also worth pointing out that the convicted man Megrahi has no particular ties to radical Islam and was a former intelligence officer for Libya which in the 80s pretty much meant that the bombing was probably carried out for political reasons rather than religious reasons - that is if he is in fact the guilty party which the Scottish court will decide during his 2nd appeal.

Sorry about your friend.
