Your days are numbered sonny. Also I don't expect anything less from Labour...the idiots.

EVIL Libyan dictator Colonel Gaddafi personally ordered the Lockerbie jet bombing, a former top aide sensationally revealed yesterday.

he confession came as Government attempts to free 540 Britons stranded in the riot-torn country were branded a shambles.

Gaddafi's ex-justice minister said he could prove the brutal tyrant was behind the deaths of 270 people when Pan Am Flight 103 blew up over the Scottish town on December 21 1988.

Mustafa Abdel-Jalil, who recently quit as justice minister in protest at the regime's violent crackdown on anti-government demos, said Gaddafi ordered Abdelbaset al-Megrahi to plant the bomb.

Al-Megrahi, 58, is the only person convicted of the atrocity. He was jailed in 2001 but controversially freed on compassionate grounds in 2009 because he is dying of cancer.

Abdel-Jalil made his dramatic accusation in a Swedish newspaper.

He said: "I have proof that Gaddafi gave the order about Lockerbie. To hide it, he did everything in his power to get al-Megrahi back from Scotland."

Abdel-Jalil has not so far provided proof.

Gaddafi accepted Libya's responsibility for the bombing and paid compensation. But he has never admitted personal responsibility.

The attack killed 259 people on the plane and 11 on the ground.

The shocking revelation that he gave the fatal order sparked fury last night among families of victims.

Bob Monetti, of New Jersey, US, whose son died, said: "There is no question who ordered it. I can't wait to see Gaddafi hanging by his heels."

Whitehall documents reveal Gordon Brown's Labour government did "all it could" to have al-Megrahi returned to Libya to help seal a BP oil deal and improve relations.

Mr Brown and his predecessor Tony Blair were both pictured shaking hands with Gaddafi.

PM David Cameron last night called Iran a "pariah state" and urged tougher sanctions to prevent it getting nuclear weapons.

The price of oil leapt to 110.56 dollars a barrel yesterday - amid fears it could hit 150 dollars if unrest in the Middle East spreads.
