Lockerbie and Libya

liner a few months before Lockerbie, killing almost exactly the same number of people.

Positive proof of this payment is included in the submissions. So are intercepts of CIA messages after the bombing that identify the PFLP-GC as the bombers. So is much more information about the evidence of Tony Gauci, the Maltese shopkeeper who alleged at the trial that Megrahi had visited his shop and bought clothes later found in the same suitcase as the bomb. This evidence, weak enough at the trial, is made even weaker by the new evidence: notably the special treatment and trips laid on for Gauci by the Scottish police.”

Classic conspiracy theory stuff, and I’m not normally susceptible to this kind of thing (unless it concerns Princess Di) but there’s no doubt that the conclusion of the Lockerbie trial, with the sentencing of Megrahi, convinced very few that justice had been done.
