Sen. Chuck Schumer On Lockerbie Bomber And BP Connection



(Real Clear Politics Video) - Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) on the possible connection between the Lockerbie plane bomber's release and oil giant BP.

Schumer is seeking a problem into BP's Libyan links.

Schumer says BP is tied in to this deal because BP and Libya were negotiating over a major oil find in the area. The deal was sped up after the Lockerbie bomber was to be released early due to poor health. The bomber was supposed to die of cancer only months after his release, however more than a year after his release he is still alive.
