Libya News and Views Saturday, 25 August, 2001: The Libyan cleared of the Lockerbie bombing called for the release of his convicted co-accused on Friday, saying he was sure Abel Basset al-Megrahi was innocent of the 1988 atrocity. Al-Amin Fahima, who was cleared in January of planting the bomb on Pam Am flight 103 which killed 270 people over the Scottish town, told the Scotsman newspaper he hoped Megrahi's pending appeal would determine the truth. "I am totally convinced he is innocent. I hope the appeal judges study this case carefully," Fahima said. "I am happy that the truth came out as far as I am concerned, and I'm innocent. I hope that the same thing will happen soon to Mr. Megrahi and I will see him back in Libya," the paper quoted Fahima as saying.
