The Libyan convicted of murdering 270 people in the passenger jet bombing over Lockerbie, Scotland appears to be on "death's door," according to a report.

Abdel Baset al-Megrahi was released from a Scottish jail two years ago and flown back to Libya after doctors said he would be dead from cancer within three months.

But Al-Megrahi lived fair beyond those three months, and was even used in recent propaganda by Moammar Gadhafi's regime.

A CNN reporter found him in Tripoli Sunday and reported he was "at death's door."

Nic Robertson said he found al-Megrahi in an apparent coma in an upscale part of Tripoli, in a home guarded by six security cameras and surrounded by relatives, including his aging mother.

His relatives said he has not seen a doctor since the fighting began in Tripoli.

Al-Megrahi was convicted in 2001 of killing 270 people, most of them American, for the bombing of U.S.-bound Pan Am Flight 103 which exploded over Lockerbie on Dec. 21, 1988.

Scottish authorities were heavily criticized for releasing him on compassionate grounds even though he had only served eight years of his 27-year sentence.

There have been calls to extradite him back to Scotland if Gadhafi's regime fell.

Al-Megrahi, a former Libyan intelligence official, was the only person convicted in the Lockerbie bombing, the worst terror attack in British history.
