Gaddafi hugs Lockerbie bomber and thanks Britain.
Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi hugged the convicted Lockerbie bomber and promised more cooperation with Britain in gratitude for his release, while London and Washington condemned his "hero's welcome" home.
Meeting Abdel Basset al-Megrahi and his ****** late on Friday, Gaddafi thanked British Prime Minister Gordon Brown and Queen Elizabeth for "encouraging" Scotland to release the dying prisoner from a Scottish jail, Libyan news agency JANA reported.
After receiving a warm embrace from Gaddafi, Megrahi bent forward and kissed the leader's hand.
