Libya News and Views Jan 19

 Saturday, 19 January, 2002: The five judges who will hear the appeal by the
Libyan convicted of the Lockerbie bombing were named yesterday. The bench is
to be headed by Scotland�s senior judge, Lord Cullen, the Lord
Justice-General. He will sit with Lords Kirkwood, Osborne, Macfadyen and
Nimmo Smith. The appeal is due to start next Wednesday at the Scottish court
in the Netherlands. A year ago, Abdelbaset al-Megrahi [photo], 49, was found
guilty of murdering the 270 people who died when Pan-am Flight 103 was blown
out of the sky above Lockerbie in December 1988. Lawyers for al-Megrahi will
insist at the appeal that his conviction was a miscarriage of justice. [The
