(CNN) -

Abdelbeset Ali Mohmed al Megrahi, the only person convicted in connection with the Lockerbie airline bombing that killed 270 people, died Sunday, the Libyan government and family members said. He was 60.

The former intelligence officer, who had suffered from prostate cancer, will be buried Monday, according to a Libyan foreign ministry spokesman.

Al Megrahi's cousin, Omer al-Gharyani, told CNN he was at a Tripoli hospital with al Megrahi when he died.

His death came more than two-and-a-half years after he was freed from a life sentence in Scotland because he was said to be dying.

His brother said the family refers "to the deceased as 'the convicted innocent.'"

"May God bless his soul," he added.

Relatives of those killed in the bombing expressed relief and, in some cases, anger.

"He was a mass murderer. I feel no pity," said Susan Cohen, whose daughter was among the 189 Americans killed.

The destruction of Pan Am Flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland, in 1988 was the deadliest act of air terrorism targeting Americans until the September 11, 2001, attacks, according to the FBI.

American and British investigators who painstakingly pieced together the wreckage concluded it was destroyed by a bomb.
