Pan Am 103 bombing conviction to be reviewed

[stockhausen]

A review of now dead Abdelbaset al-Megrahi's conviction for the Lockerbie bombing is to be carried out by the Scottish Criminal Cases Review Commission. The commission said it would examine the case to decide whether it would be appropriate to refer the matter for a fresh appeal. al-Megrahi was jailed for 27 years in 2001 for the 1988 bombing of Pan Am flight 103 which killed 270 people.

al-Megrahi died six years ago!​

The many legal vultures involved will be generously compensated before they move on to consider the tricky case of Cain's murder of Abel.

For those people who know nothing at all about this, here is the BBC Link.

I believe that the decision to reinvestigate the conviction has been reached because al-Megrahi's family requested it.

al-Megrahi had been granted the right to appeal before he was released on "compassionate" grounds. It is suggested that he was only released because the British Government didn't want the appeal to go ahead.

The whole investigation and the prosecution case absolutely stink. It was investigated extensively by Paul Foot years ago.

The truth is most unlikely to come out in our lifetimes.

Paul Foot wrote a book called "Lockerbie: The flight from justice" about the tragic downing of Pan Am flight 103. I read it years ago and personally I am not at all surprised at the latest finding.

I suspect that far more is known about this than any of us will ever get to hear. Look up Vincennes and Gaddafi+Sanctions in connection with Pan Am 103.
