Lockerbie, Pan Am flight bombed

[Golden Retriever]

I don't believe the offical version Al-Megrahi was responsible for the downing of this flight. The origianal David Icke forum and from

memory on the new forum before the hack had information about Lockerbie which has been lost.

 

I booked someone I knew on this flight which had a detrimental effect on me for months. A senior commodity trader was due to fly with British Airways

at 18.30 back to New York that day. His meetings finished early and he came to my office (I was the travel manager of a commodity trading company)

and asked to switch to Pan Am 30 minutes earlier. I joked with him saying are you sure because at that time Pan Am didn't have a very good reputation for

service. If only I had convinced him to stay with his original reservation with British Airways, he would be alive today

The Lockerbie Bombing: A Father’s Search for Justice Paperback – July 6, 2021

"The destruction of Pan Am Flight 103 over the Scottish town of Lockerbie in December 1988 was the largest attack on Britain since World War Two. 259 passengers and 11 townsfolk of Lockerbie were murdered. Libyan Abdelbaset al-Megrahi was convicted of the crime. He maintained his innocence until his death in 2012.

Among the passengers was Flora, beloved daughter of Dr Jim Swire. Jim accepted American claims that Libya was responsible, but during the Lockerbie Trial he began to distrust key witnesses and supposed firm evidence. Since then it has been revealed that the USA paid millions of dollars to two central identification witnesses, and the only forensic evidence central to the prosecution has been discredited.

The book takes us along Dr. Swire’s journey as his initial grief and loss becomes a campaign to uncover the truth behind not only a personal tragedy but one of the modern world’s most shocking events."

Tam Dalyell, the deceased Scottish MP tried his best to get to the truth, but the powers that be ignored

his questions.

 

" When invited by a television journalist to rank Tony Blair among the eight Prime Ministers he had observed as a parliamentarian, he cited Blair's policies in Kosovo and Iraq as reasons for placing his party leader at the bottom of the list. He was also a strong presence in Parliament concerning Libya and led no fewer than 17 adjournment debates on the Lockerbie bombing,^[22][23] in which he repeatedly demanded answers by the Government to the reports of Hans Köchler, United Nations observer at the Lockerbie trial"

Tam Dalyell's last interview: Going to the grave convinced of Lockerbie bomber's innocence

 

"TAM DALYELL, the former campaigning MP who died on Thursday, said in a poignant final interview he would go to his grave believing that the conviction of the alleged Lockerbie bomber Abdelbaset al-Megrahi was a “massive injustice.”

He recalled that after visiting Megrahi in prison, “I was absolutely convinced that he was not involved in Lockerbie.”

I never believed the Libyans had anything to do with Lockerbie. So much stuff came out in the years following that the case against Al-Megrahi began to buckle even before the sham of a trial was over. Paul Foot wasn't everyone's cup of tea but his report,  Lockerbie- The Flight From Justice, made a very convincing case that it was Palestinian terrorists, led by Ahmed Jibril that did the deed. Foot explodes the story that Al-Megrahi bought clothes from a shop in Malta by demolishing the so-called eyewitness testimony of the shopkeeper. Even Lord Fraser thought the man, Tony Gauci, was a lunatic.

 

Jibril, according to the Israelis, was after an Israeli plane. He allegedly took down a Swissair flight in 1970 using barometric pressure detonators and, according to the Times of Israel: "Two months before the Lockerbie bombing, Jibril’s right-hand man Hafez Dalkamouni was arrested by German police along with other members of a PFLP-GC cell found to be in possession of several barometric pressure explosive devices, built into Toshiba radio-recorders, similar though not identical to the device that investigators subsequently established was used in the Lockerbie bombing."  https://www.timesofisrael.com/palestinian-group-carried-out-lockerbie-bombing/

 

Of further interest is the tale of Ray Manly, the LHR security guard who discovered a break-in at Pan Am's baggage facility at Heathrow. A heavy-duty padlock had been cut giving access to baggage that had already been through security x-ray procedures. Suspicion fell on an as-yet unnamed Pakistani employee who was on duty and would have had access to the area. Manly was interviewed by police but his evidence was all but discarded at the time when the narrative fixed on the bomb being loaded in Germany.

 

I'm sorry about the poor man you booked on Pam Am 103. What strange twists of fate govern our lives.
