The Lockerbie Case: Megrahi on Al-Jazeera?

Megrahi on Al-Jazeera?

A normally well-informed source tells me that Abdelbaset Megrahi earlier this week took part by telephone in a discussion programme broadcast on the Arabic service of Al-Jazeera. His comments, it appears, related mainly to Saif-al-Islam Gaddafi's recently broadcast views about the "greed" of the Lockerbie relatives, and were highly critical. If any of the readers of this blog has further information, I would be delighted to have it.

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.
