Title: Qaddafi ordered the Lockerbie bombing ??
Post by: namvet on February 24, 2011, 09:01:51 AM
ex-justice minister claims he has proof Qaddafi pulled the trigger. of note:

Quote
He told Expressen that Qaddafi gave the order to Abdel Baset al-Megrahi, the only man convicted in the bombing of Pan Am Flight 103 on December 21, 1988. The airliner exploded over Scotland and all 259 people aboard and 11 on the ground died when it crashed into the town of Lockerbie. Most of the victims were Americans.

Quote
Al-Megrahi was convicted in 2001 and sentenced to life in prison, but was granted a compassionate release from a Scottish prison in August 2009 on the grounds that he was suffering from prostate cancer and would die soon. He is still alive.

guess the terminal cancer healed itself???

Smacks of a back room deal between the Brits and Gadaffy. I wonder what the Brits got out of it.
There was a report I saw recently that this guy wasn't quite as "terminal" after all. I think he was used as a commodity that was traded for something.

The media has been jumping on this claim, but it would be nice to see the proof.
