The head of Scotland's government says FBI director Robert Mueller was wrong to criticise the decision to free the Pan Am Flight 103 bomber.
First Minister Alex Salmond told BBC Radio Sunday that Mueller has likely underestimated the level of support for the release of Abdel Baset al-Megrahi, a Libyan convicted of killing 270 people in the 1988 airline bombing.
Al-Megrahi is terminally ill with prostate cancer. He was released Thursday from a Scottish prison and has returned to Libya to die.
Mueller sent a letter to Scotland's government criticizing the release on compassionate grounds of Abdel Baset al-Megrahi, He said the decision "gives comfort to terrorists" all over the world.
