Yet more on the mystery document

Marcello Mega, who is normally very well-informed on Lockerbie issues, has a story in today's Scotland on Sunday based on information obtained from a source who claims to have seen the document at the heart of the UK Government's public interest immunity claim. The story reads in part:

"The top-secret document at the heart of the Lockerbie bombing appeal confirms beyond doubt the bomb timer was supplied to countries other than Libya, Scotland on Sunday can reveal.

"The document also gives 'considerable detail' on how the use of a small bomb concealed inside a radio-cassette recorder was consistent with Palestinian terrorists rather than Libyans, according to a prominent legal source who has seen the paper.

"Important pillars of the Crown's case against Abdelbaset Ali Mohmed al-Megrahi, the Libyan serving life for the atrocity, are 'knocked down' by the contents of the document, added the source."

The source refused to reveal the foreign country which supplied the document, but Mega speculates (in line with the views of Ludwig de Braeckeleer reported here on this blog) that the country is Germany and the document contains the fruits of the debriefing by the BKA of the Iranian defector, Abolghasem Mesbahi.
