Scottish judges have rejected a third appeal on behalf of the Libyan man convicted of the Lockerbie bombing.
The family of Abdelbaset al-Megrahi, who died in 2012, argued that he was the victim of a miscarriage of justice.
But the Court of Criminal Appeal upheld the verdict of the original trial, which took place at special Scottish court in the Netherlands in 2001.
Megrahi is the only person to have been convicted over the bombing of Pan Am flight 103 in December 1988.
All 259 passengers and crew on board the flight were killed, along with 11 people in Lockerbie who died when the wreckage fell onto their homes.
