Lockerbie: an open or closed crime?

[Kevin23]

Moderator's Note

This thread was entitled 'Lockerbie Bomber Could Live Another 10 Years' and the thread was closed in May 2012 after the death in Libya of Adelbert Ali Mohmed al-Megrahi. Today I have reopened the thread as yet again the "finger of suspicion" is pointed away from Libya - see Post 17 and so have renamed the thread 'Lockerbie: an open or closed crime?' (ends).


According to a recent review which could be somewhat embarrassing for both the British government and the devolved government in Scotland. Convicted Lockerbie bomber Adelbert Ali Mohmed al-Megrahi could live up to 10 more years despite earlier known claims to the contrary by the Libyan Government and the British medical doctor who took up his case.

You didn't really believe what the Brits said at the time of release, did you?

What exactly do you mean?

If you're implying that the then Brown Government ok'ed the compassionate release to improve the chances of British companies doing business with Libya then I honestly don't know.

with up close knowledge of how the previous regime worked, and of the Scottish Executive, I prefer the incompetence theory as opposed to conspiracy!

That's pretty much my feeling also,

However, I thought JMA was implying that there was more to this story then met the eye.

Of course there is, there always is...

US senators demand BP records on Libya lobbying

Don't you just love Charles Schumer? Saw him on TV saying that if anyone believes that al-Megrahi's release followed by BP's oil deal with Libya is a coincidence then he has a bridge in Brooklyn to sell them. Priceless.
