Tony Blair and Prince Andrew met one of Colonel Gaddafi’s top henchmen in London a month before the Lockerbie bomber was released, according to a TV documentary.A Dispatches programme on Channel 4 claims the former Prime Minister had a secret meeting with Gaddafi’s former chief of staff Bashir Saleh Bashir at Mr Blair’s London home on July 20, 2009.
