Neither the print nor the internet edition of The Scotsman ("Scotland's National Newspaper") appears to carry the story, though there is a Reuters news agency report at

When Libya takes its seat on the UNSC in January, it should immediately call for a UN inquiry into the little-known fact reported at Wikipedia's main page on 17 October 2007:
"...that Bernt Carlsson, the last United Nations Commissioner for Namibia, died in the Pan Am Flight 103 bombing in 1988, while travelling to the signing ceremony of the Namibian independence agreement in New York."

Comments

Readers are invited to comment on blog posts. All comments require to be pre-moderated by me, and I shall reject all (a) that are not related to the Lockerbie disaster or (b) that fail to meet my -- perhaps idiosyncratic -- standards of courtesy towards other contributors. Comments will not be rejected simply because I disagree with them or because I, or other contributors, find them irritating. But comments will be rejected if they distort or misrepresent the evidence; are defamatory; or if they risk embroiling me, as publisher, in defamation proceedings. I am perfectly relaxed about being sued in respect of material which I personally have posted -- but not in respect of material that others wish to post as comments and which, in any case, I often strongly disagree with.

Particularly during my sojourns in South Africa, it may not be possible for me to perform the moderation function speedily. I regret the necessity of moderation but it has been rendered inevitable by the behaviour of a particular commentator whose contributions will always and without exception be rejected.

No correspondence will be entered into regarding moderation decisions.
