U.S. Senators will examine whether a lucrative oil deal between BP and Libya played a role in the release from a Scottish prison of Abdelbaset al-Megrahi, the convicted bomber of a Pan Am flight that crashed over Lockerbie, Scotland, in 1988, killing 270 people.


California Democratic Sens. Barbara Boxer and Dianne Feinstein called for an investigation Thursday. Hours later, the Senate Foreign Relations Committee announced it will hold a hearing into the circumstances of al-Megrahi's so-called compassionate release, amid reports that the prisoner may not have been as ill as depicted by officials at the time of his release.


Days after al-Megrahi arrived in Libya, BP signed a lucrative contract to explore and develop oil prospects off the African nation's coast.


Nigel Sheinwald, Britain's ambassador to Washington, wrote to Kerry on Thursday, saying the release was a "mistake," but denying any connection between the release and an oil deal between BP and Libya:


I am writing to you about continuing speculation in the media over the circumstances in which the Scottish Executive decided last year to release Abdelbaset al-Megrahi from prison on compassionate grounds. While only the Scottish Executive is able to provide the full details, I wanted to write to you to explain the facts as understood by the British Government.


First, the view of the new British Government is that Megrahi's release was a mistake. As the Prime Minster's spokesman said today, "the Prime Minister at the time said that he believed the decision to release Megrahi was wrong, and that he understood the concerns that had been raised about it."


The British Government deeply regrets the continuing anguish that his release on compassionate grounds has caused the families of Megrahi's victims in the UK as well as in the US.


However under UK law, where Scottish justice issues are devolved to Scotland, it fell solely to the Scottish Executive to consider Megrahi's case.
