<p>A dossier of official documents shedding light on the release of the Lockerbie bomber will be published on Monday.</p>
<p>Disclosures from the eagerly-anticipated publication may throw up new questions for the former Labour government and Scottish Justice Secretary Kenny MacAskill.</p>
<p>Mr MacAskill sanctioned the release of Abdelbaset al-Megrahi on compassionate grounds in August 2009, because he was supposed to have little time left to live. Al-Megrahi is still alive in Tripoli today.</p>
<p>The publication follows Prime Minister David Cameron&#8217;s promise to US president Barack Obama that he would review the paperwork in the case.</p>
<p>Mr Cameron asked Sir Gus O&#8217;Donnell, the Cabinet Secretary, to conduct the review and ensure that everything that could be made public was.</p>
<p>The tranche of letters, memos and minutes to be released today is described as &#8220;comprehensive&#8221;.</p>
<p>The Prime Minister discussed Libya with US secretary of state Hillary Clinton when they met at a security conference in Munich on Saturday. </p>
<p>A Downing Street spokeswoman said they had &#8220;strongly agreed that the release of the Lockerbie bomber had been a mistake&#8221;.</p>
<p>It was reported last week that Libya had been given advice by a then Foreign Office minister Bill Rammell on how to secure al-Megrahi&#8217;s release.</p>
<p>Pan Am Flight 103 exploded over the Scottish town on December 21, 1988, killing 270 people in the air and on the ground.</p>
