Maybe this is true. In either case, it was jihad. But the establishment analysts of the West already know to discount that. “Lockerbie bombing ‘was work of Iran, not Libya’ says former spy,” by Gordon Rayner for the Telegraph, March 10:
The Lockerbie bombing was ordered by Iran and carried out by a Syrian-based terrorist group, a former Iranian intelligence officer has admitted.
Abolghassem Mesbahi, a defector to Germany, said Pan Am flight 103 was downed in 1988 in retaliation for a US Navy strike on an Iranian commercial jet six months earlier, in which 290 people died.
He claims the Ayatollah Khomeini, who was Iran’s Supreme Leader, ordered the bombing “to copy exactly what happened to the Iranian Airbus”.
Previously unseen evidence gathered for the aborted appeal hearing of Abdelbaset al-Megrahi, the former Libyan intelligence officer convicted of the bombing, supports Mr Mesbahi’s claim and suggests that the bombers belonged to the extremist group the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine – General Command (PFLP-GC).
Documents obtained by Al Jazeera television for a documentary called Lockerbie: What Really Happened? name key individuals said to be involved in the bombing, including the alleged bomb-maker, the alleged mastermind and the man who may have put the bomb on the doomed Boeing 747….

And “Brother Leader” Gadfly, who called his firstborn son “Seif Al Islam” (Sword of Islam) had nothing to do with it?
Consider them Partners in Crime.
Jay Boo says
Sounds credible except for the part about by Al Jazeera television.
Al Jazeera television sometimes has ulterior motives in what it writes.
MikeRyan says
If memory serves me correctly, the Bush administration let the Syrians “off the hook” for their suspected involvement in this atrocity back when we were coalition building leading up to the first Gulf War.

Whatever the truth about Lockerbie, one thing’s for sure ; it was a Muhammedan-made disaster.
A former customer of mine, Mrs Plum, lost a whole classful of her students on that terrible day, and she has been a wreck ever since.

London Jim
no idea whether you will come back here to read this, but I’ll post it anyway.
You are still in touch with this lady?
Is she aware of the Jihad? Have you been able to discuss Islam with her?
She might be able to deal with her grief better if she could transform it into white-hot and holy anger and channel that energy into the Resistance.
After all: the best and most lasting memorial she could give her students, and the most constructive way to honour their memory, would be to spend the rest of her life fighting *like a tiger* against the Islamisation of the West.

Not surprised. Gaddafi surely paid for what he did.
It’s now time for the mullahs to pay. The mullahocracy has a lot of crimes to pay for.
Their payback is overdue and it will dreadful when it comes to them.
Ron Bier says
NOW is the time for Israel to attack Iran. They should not wait for the U.S. and other fair weathered friends to help. STRIKE NOW, although it might be to late.
John McGrath says
This could be just more spoof…remember that it was the former Iraqi spy living in Germany that persuaded the CIA that Saddam had large amounts of WMDs.
And didn’t the Libyans and Gadhafi accept responsibility?
Change Iran Now says
As Nuclear Negotiations with Iran Continue, Washington must not lose sight of the fact that Tehran continues to actively engage and support nefarious activities worldwide. Iran is one of only four countries designated by the United States as a State Sponsor of Terrorism (SST). In order to be designated an SST, a country must have repeatedly provided support for acts of international terror, and that is a major part of Iran’s foreign policy. Iran has been seen supporting terrorist acts in Europe, Africa, Southeast Asia, and even right here in Washington, D.C., as an Iranian plot to assassinate the ambassador of Saudi Arabia was uncovered. Then there is Iran’s involvement in Latin America; Iran’s presence there has grown rapidly and now poses a very serious threat the US. The true nature of the regime in Tehran is not peaceful.
