The mother of one of the victims of the Lockerbie bombing has said she feels no pity at the death of the man convicted of the attack.

Susan Cohen, whose only child, Theodora, died on Pan Am 103 when she was 20, said that the Libyan Abdelbaset Ali Mohmed al Megrahi deserved to die.

Megrahi, who was released from prison in Scotland on compassionate grounds in 2009, was given a life sentence for the 1988 terror attack, which left 270 people dead.

"He was a mass murderer. I feel no pity around him," said Mrs Cohen, from New Jersey. "He got to die with his family around him. My daughter, at age 20, died a brutal, horrible death. You call that justice?"
