Obama: Cameron shares our anger

Barack Obama, president of the United States of America, comments on the decision to release Lockerbie bomber Abdelbaset al-Megrahi:

“We would welcome any additional information that would give us insights into why the original decision was made.

“But I think the key thing to understand here is that we’ve got a British prime minister who shares our anger over the decision, who also objects to how it played out. So I’m fully supportive of prime minister Cameron’s efforts to gain a better understanding of it, to clarify it, but the bottom line is we all disagreed with it. It was a bad decision.”
