Scottish officials contact 'missing' Lockerbie bomber
Abdelbaset Ali al-Megrahi
Under the terms of his release from a Scottish jail on compassionate grounds in August  Abdelbaset Ali al-Megrahi cannot leave Tripoli or change his address and must keep in regular contact with East Renfrewshire Council.
 They were unable to contact the Libyan on Tuesday  while The Times newspaper could not track him down at either his house or the hospital where the terminal prostate cancer sufferer has had treatment.
 "We have now spoken to Mr Megrahi  who is in his house. There is no cause for alarm  he is in his house " said a spokesman for East Renfrewshire Council in western Scotland.
 "He wasn't able to speak to us yesterday but he was able to do so today. We have spoken to him and we don't have any concerns. He is definitely at home in Tripoli."
 The spokesman said that if staff had been unable to contact Megrahi this time  they would have reported the situation to the Scottish government.
 The council is next due to speak to Megrahi next Tuesday.
 Megrahi is the only person convicted over the December 1988 bombing of a New York-bound Pan Am Boeing 747 over the Scottish town of Lockerbie  which killed 270 people.
 He was freed on August 20 after doctors said he had only three months to live  and returned to a hero's welcome in Libya  angering relatives of those killed.
 His release also caused tensions between Britain  the devolved Scottish government and the United States and sparked questions about London's growing trade relationship with Tripoli.
