STOCKHOLM - Libya's ex-justice minister claims he has evidence that Moammar Gadhafi personally ordered the Lockerbie bombing that killed 270 people in 1988, according to a Swedish newspaper.
Expressen on Wednesday quoted Mustafa Abdel-Jalil as telling their correspondent in Libya that "I have proof that Gadhafi gave the order about Lockerbie." He didn't describe the proof.
Abdel-Jalil stepped down as justice minister to protest the violence against anti-government demonstrations.
He told Expressen that Gadhafi gave the order to Abdel Baset al-Megrahi, the only man convicted in the bombing of Pan Am Flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland, which killed all 259 people on board and 11 on the ground.
"To hide it, he (Gadhafi) did everything in his power to get al-Megrahi back from Scotland," Abdel-Jalil was quoted as saying.
Al-Megrahi was granted a compassionate release from a Scottish prison in August 2009 on the grounds that he was suffering from prostate cancer and would die soon. He is still alive.
Expressen spokeswoman Alexandra Forslund said its reporter, Kassem Hamade, interviewed the ex-justice minister at "a local parliament in a large city in Libya." She didn't want to name the city, citing security concerns.

mmh, yaani hapa kutakuwa na mziki mzito hata sipati picha kabisa.
last month tumeona British PM alitoa shutuma kwa serikali ya scotland kwa kutoa huo msamaha wa huyo jamaa
USA pia ililalamika sana kwa sababu waliokufa wengi walikuwa ni wananchi wa USA
sasa hii kitu kama itakuwa ni kweli, hapo ni lazima kuwake moto wala sio mchezo
Castro alivyosema lolote linaweza likatokea, ngoja tuone hiyo breakthrough ya Sweeden meeting
