Lockerbie Fallout: A (Fake) American Backlash

So, via Iain Dale, the News of the World has a story claiming that:

Britain was facing the likelihood of an increased terror threat last night — after America’s CIA chiefs threatened to stop sharing vital intelligence with us following the Lockerbie bomber’s release. The Americans have already warned British intelligence services that sending cancer-stricken Abdelbaset al-Megrahi home to Libya has destroyed our “special relationship”. But the fallout following the bomber’s release has now worsened with the CIA threat to stop sharing information on terrorists gathered by their agents. They have also warned they may not pass on vital information picked up by their sophisticated eavesdropping satellites.

To which Iain comments that “It seems that releasing al Megrahi threatens to put more Britons in danger than getting out of Afghanistan would do” and “It looks like the SNP may have a lot to answer for.”
