Quote:The release of the Lockerbie bomber was linked by the Government to a £400 million arms-export deal to Libya, according to secret correspondence obtained by The Sunday Telegraph.
An email sent by the then British ambassador in Tripoli details how a prisoner transfer agreement would be signed once Libya "fulfils its promise" to buy an air defence system.
The disclosure is embarrassing for members of the then Labour government, which always insisted that Abdelbaset al-Megrahi's release was not linked to commercial deals.

The most relevant literature regarding what happened since September 11, 2001 is George Orwell's "1984".
