By Daniel Bates PUBLISHED: 19:33 EST, 20 May 2012 | UPDATED: 10:16 EST, 21 May 2012 Families of the victims of the Lockerbie bombing are still angry with the Scottish and British government over the release of Abdelbaset Al Megrahi, a leading senator said yesterday after the terrorist's death. ‘This man was a horrible man,' said New York's Chuck Schumer. 'It would have been better if he’d not died in freedom but died in prison. That’s what he deserved. ‘I still believe that the Scottish government, perhaps with the participation of the British government, created a major injustice when they let him out.’
