JUDGES rejected a bid yesterday by families of the Lockerbie bombing victims to challenge the conviction of Abdelbaset al-Megrahi — the only man jailed for the atrocity.
Two-hundred and seventy people were killed when a bomb exploded on board Pan Am Flight 103 over Lockerbie, Dumfries and Galloway, on December 21 1988.
Mr Megrahi was the only person convicted over the atrocity but concerns have long existed over the verdict.
