Libyan state television has broadcast footage apparently showing Abdelbaset al-Megrahi, the Lockerbie bomber, at a gathering in support of Muammar Gaddafi.
Still alive almost two years after he was released from prison in Scotland and sent home on compassionate grounds due to terminal cancer, Megrahi appeared to be frail and was sitting in a wheelchair.
A Libyan television presenter introduced Megrahi at the rally and, after the national anthem was played, said his conviction was the result of a "conspiracy".
The footage of the event in Tripoli was reportedly broadcast live.
The former Libyan intelligence agent had been expected to live for only three months when he was released from a Scottish prison after serving nearly eight years of a 27-year sentence for killing 270 people.
Four days before Christmas in 1988, Pan Am Flight 103 travelling from London to New York was targeted in a bomb attack, causing it to crash over Lockerbie, in Dumfries and Galloway.
He has rarely been seen since he returned to a hero's welcome in Libya. One of Gaddafi's sons, Saif, was by his side amid scenes of jubilation after an aircraft touched down in Tripoli while Megrahi later appeared on television alongside the dictator himself.
It was reported in December that he had slipped into a coma and was not expected to recover. "Everyday is expected to be his last," a source close to his family was said to have told Sky News at the time.
David Cameron came under fresh pressure earlier this year to order an independent inquiry into the release of Megrahi after US senators accused the UK of "cutting deals" to set him free.
The prime minister said that an exhaustive review had showed there was no need for an inquiry into allegations that Megrahi was freed by Scottish ministers to further an oil deal for BP.
Cameron told the Commons in February that a report by Sir Gus O'Donnell, the head of the civil service, had found no proof that UK ministers or BP had directly put pressure on the Scottish government to release the Libyan.
Four US senators dismissed his assurances, insisting that new evidence showed that ministers and officials in London worked to get him released to further the UK's commercial and political interests in Libya.

Các anh chị có ý kiến , nhận định gì qua bài viết "Lockerbie bomber al-Megrahi seen at pro-Gaddafi rally in Tripoli" ?
Trên thế giới hiện nay có lẽ còn nhiều tên khủng bố sát nhân đã từng GIẾT rất NHIỀU người vô tội, những tên khủng bố sát nhân này vẫn còn nhởn nhơ sống thoải mái sau khi chúng đã làm không biết bao nhiêu TỘI ÁC.
Những kẻ có quyền lực không thể nhân danh cho bất cứ cái gọi là "chủ nghĩa", "học thuyết", "tin ngưỡng", "lý tưởng" hay bất cứ vin vào cái gì gì gì đó để có thể giết người .
Cũng là con người tại sao lại có những con người chỉ có cái mặt người còn cái lòng của lòai ÁC THÚ tự cho họ cái quyền tước đọat QUYỀN LÀM NGƯỜI của người khác ???
Không những chỉ những kẻ sát nhân ÁC THÚ này đáng ghê tởm mà những kẻ cố tình bao che, dung dưỡng cho chúng lại càng đáng ghê tởm hơn .
