From the Article wrote:Claims have been made that BP lobbied for the release, but Mr Cameron said the Scottish government was responsible for freeing Abdelbaset Ali al-Megrahi.

...

The Scottish government has denied any BP influence in the release last year.

Standing alongside US President Barack Obama, Mr Cameron said he had seen no evidence the Scottish government - which made the decision to free terminally ill cancer patient Megrahi on compassionate grounds - had been "swayed" by lobbying from BP.
...

The Scottish government said the decision to free Megrahi had been "based on strict justice criteria and no other factor".

Mr MacAskill said he could give "an absolute assurance that BP did not contact myself or the Scottish government and it formed no part of my decision".

BP isn't the only company with creepy ties to evil people/organizations. It wouldn't surprise me if they are exposed for anything really.
