The condition of the cancer-stricken Lockerbie bomber has taken a sharp turn for the worse in the last few days, the Times of London reports. "The last check-up was very, very bad. He's dying.

Cancer specialists are reportedly being flown from Europe to Tripoli in a chartered aircraft, though al-Megrahi's brother wouldn't say who was paying for them.
