From The BBC:

The man convicted of the Lockerbie bombing is expected to be released next week, the BBC understands.

Abdelbaset Ali al-Megrahi, who is suffering from terminal prostate cancer, has been serving his jail sentence at Greenock Prison.

Scottish ministers described the development as "complete speculation".

The Libyan had launched an appeal against his conviction for the murder of 270 people when Pan Am Flight 103 exploded over Lockerbie in 1988.
