New call for Lockerbie inquiry as Abdelbaset Ali Mohmed al-Megrahi dies
and an older article from the Independent:
Hugh Miles: Lockerbie: was it Iran? Syria? All I know is, it wasn't the man in prison
Note especially this:
Abu Talb was given lifelong immunity from prosecution in exchange for his evidence at the Lockerbie trial; Marwan Khreesat was released for lack of evidence by German police even though a barometric timer of the type used to detonate the bomb on Pan Am Flight 103 was found in his car when he was arrested.
Three months after the bombing, Dumfries and Galloway police published a report on Lockerbie that concluded: "There can be little doubt that Khreesat is the bomb-maker for the [Palestinian group] PFLP-GC, and there is a possibility he prepared the explosive device which destroyed Pan Am Flight 103. As such he should not be at liberty."
One of the family members was on a Sunday talking heads show that I saw (normally I avoid those), stated that Scotland Yard told him years ago that there wasn’t “a scintilla of evidence” linking Syria and Iran to the bombing, but that they were sure of their involvement. Then the family member complimented Zero (this was after having claimed to have met with “Bush 41” in 1988 — before he was President) and it became clear that nothing more will be done about Lockerbie, but it will be among the memes planted in the buildup to Zero’s probable October Surprise attack on Syria and/or Iran.
