Scotland's Justice Secretary Kenny MacAskill is denying claims that he told the Lockerbie bomber to drop his appeal to make it "easier" for him to be released on compassionate grounds. Abdel Baset al Megrahi, the only man ever convicted for the atrocity, makes the allegation in his book "You Are My Jury" which will be published tomorrow. In it, he protests his innocence and insists he was the "victim of dirty politics, a flawed investigation and judicial folly". In other news: A week on from the murder of Perthshire pensioner Jenny Methven, Tayside Police are stepping up their efforts to catch her killer; The trial of two men accused of plotting to kill Neil Lennon has heard how a "hoax" nail bomb was sent to the Celtic manager. In sport: Boxer Lee McAllister faces an anxious wait amid fears the injury sustained during Saturday's Euro title clash with Denis Shafikov could threaten his career. McAllister's undergoing tests to determine the severity of the elbow injury, which forced him to quit after round seven.This international version of STV News at Six is viewable world-wide.
