Forthcoming Lockerbie book

An' then the world came tae oor doorstep: Lockerbie Lives and Stories
by Jill S Haldane, with a foreword by Robert Black.

Product Description
The Lockerbie Stories tell of the absolute incomprehension of something as alien as hunks of aeroplane and associated detritus falling through the roof of the home from aerospace above, penetrating the security of the family and exposing the self to chaos and despair, inverting life's experience from relatively familiar to discrete. The grief and trauma that followed, dealing with veil of death and destruction as victims and their belongings rained on homes, gardens and streets, together with the shock and upset involved in evacuation from your home and disruption of your routine. The frustrating inability to communicate with family and friends out with the community; the violation of all pre-conceived representations of Christmas and the descending swarm of strangers. To see your wee space on the planet, on the screen and beamed to innumerable other homes across the world. The silence then the noise: the sound of people and busyness was deafening to the quietude of the town and the echo reverberated for a few years. This is not a comparative study of how the Lockerbie bombing compares to any other disaster, natural or premeditated. By nature, disasters are variously horrific for the people directly and indirectly involved.

The book consists of accounts by Lockerbie indwellers of their experiences on 21 December 1988 and the years that followed.

  1. A new "Lockerbie scandal" is uncovered !
    Newest unbelievable Fact in the "Lockerbie-Affair"

    On the feeder flight PA-103/A from Frankfurt to London-Heathrow not one Samsonite suitcase - the alleged bomb suitcase, from AirMalta, flight KM-180 to PanAm flight PA-103/A - was loaded, but 3unknown and unaccompanied luggage items from Lufthansa, flight LH-631from Kuwait, ex tray no. B-4809, B-6001, B-7418 >>>
    don't belong to passenger no.143, T. Walker as the BKA supposed falsely!
    An irresponsible mistake due to the BKA's sloppy investigations.

    Passenger no.143, T. Walker, actually traveled with his 3 luggage items (3M) with the same flight LH-631 from Kuwait to Frankfurt. Around 15:57 clock at the transit checking counter in Frankfurt airport, Mr. Walker checked in with his 3 luggage items as tray no. B-7056, B-9531, B-11366.

    Unfortunately, the on-line Bag from Berlin flight PA-643, Tray no. B-8849 was given the the code S0009+Z13:07 at the same time (13:07) together with the inter-line baggage from AirMalta, KM-180, (code S0009+Z13:04-13:10) by the same Counter V3-206. Therefore the wrong acceptance at the court in Kamp van Zeist 2000/2001, that the bag was transfered by AirMalta, KM-180 onto PanAm, PA-103/A!!

  2. Dear Mr DavidBen-Aryeah

    YOU AND OTHER FRIENDS BELIEVE THAT MR. MEGRAHI IS INNOCENT, that is very well however is only one statement from you, or have you strong discharge proofs as I and MEBO have?

    We are neither pessimistic nor optimistic about Megrahi's appeal, but we are determined to reveal the Scottish miscarriage of justice with our exonerating evidence and thus help to rehabilitate Libya and give Mr. Abdelbaset Al Megrahi his honour back.

    We will prove that Libya and Mr Al Megrahi had absolutely nothing to do with the PanAm 103 bombing! We have to day the ncessary discharge proofs.

    A revised judgement in favour of Libya and its official Mr. Megrahi will rise Libya's international reputation and the prestige of Libya's leader Muammar Gaddafi and his son Seif al-Islam Gadhafi, who was a key figure in normalizing Libya's relations with the World and make the international community aware of the unjust UN-embargo against Libya and its people.

    Why again a delay and why has no date yet been fixed for the hearing of the appeal? The answer is simple: Probably racism, because Mr. Megrahi is citizen of a Muslim Country! This must end. The delay is becoming scandalous. The reputation of Scotland's criminal justice system is being further tarnished in the eyes of the world. Topic in the next meeting of the Arab league.
    End of the announcement.

    Merry Christmas

  4. Dear Professor Black,

    Mr.Bollier is yet again subjecting the site and it's objective postings to a virtual avalanche of comments that
    (a) are totally confusing to the ordinary reader.
    (b) have not been 'tested' in a court of law.
    (c)He has admitted on camera 'expectatiuons of'immense' wealth for his role in 'assisting' Megrahi's release.
    (d) He has, as far as can be ascertained at this stage no role in the pending second appeal.
    (e) appears to be using his comments as a free vehicle for comments that, until the second appeal has be heard may seriously disadvantage both Mr. Megrahi and his defence team.
    (f)As the transcripts of the trial show, Mr. Bollier admitted, under oath to secretly comunicating with persons alleged to be officers of the Central Intelligence Agency of the United States AND the Inteligence services of the Libyan Government.(I remember a comment made by a senior lwayer along the lines of 'trying to have his cake and eat it'!

    In the interests of impartiality, could it be that his postings are part of the requirement to 'prove' he is actively campaiging to justify up to $200 MILLION payment - I urge that some form of limit on his activities be implimented to ensure that ordinary site visitoirs do NOT become mislead or further comments that can only cause confusion and damage to Megrahi's position. (I am NOT asking for censorship which I oppose with heart and soul).

    Postnote to RUTH: Yes, dear Ruth, I DO make spelling and other mistakes - I have serious eye problems and had hoped that readers would wiew any typos in an understanding manner. I and my many problems are NOT important - the relase of a man whom I believe to be TOTALLY innocent - IS!
    I am somewhat saddened that your only response to my perfectly accurate and objective comments would be to 'nit-pick'

  5. The only editorial powers that I exercise in respect of comments posted on this blog are to remove contributions that are defamatory or obscene (of which, I am glad to report, there have been few). I don't intend to change this policy. Some of the comments I find annoying or irritating or ill-informed. But that is something that a blogger should be prepared to put up with if he/she allows comments on the site at all. I take the view that on this blog the value of the comments facility outweighs the concomitant annoyance and irritation.

  6. WITTNESS IN SCOTLAND

    Being a witness is very important also in a criminal appeal court case. Witness for the defense Edwin Bollier will again additionally provide vital new information about the "Lockerbie-crime" case, for the exoneration of Mr. Abdelbaset al Megrahi and Libya's curse in the Lockerbie-case
    I registered myself and Ulrich Lumpert as a witness at the High Court in Edinburgh. In the next weeks Edwin Bollier, MEBO Ltd. will give a statement and deliver the new evidence/realizations at the Scottish Police in Edinburgh or Dumfries, as a witness (Scotland act 2004).

    A specialist from Germany examined and confirmed my determination result, transferred three of unknown luggage items, 3 Bags, Tray no. B-4809, B-6001, B-7418; unaccompanied, from flight LH-631-(from Kuwait), via counter (HM-3) inter-line, to PA-103/A at Frankfurt to London Heathrow...

    On the other hand, the alleged "Malta-Bomb-bag", Tray no.B-8849 was a regular accompanied on-line bag from passenger no.131, W. Wagenführ, (from Berlin)- flight PA-643, and was transfered on (21.12.1988), 13:07 to PA-103/A, and checked out in Heathrow.

    It is negligent, since the year 2000 until today, about 30 attorneys of Mr. Megrahi' s defence team, has not find out these determining facts!!!

    RESULT: On the feeder flight PA-103/A from Frankfurt to London-Heathrow not one Samsonite suitcase - the alleged bomb suitcase, from AirMalta, flight KM-180 to PanAm flight PA-103/A - was loaded, but 3 unknown and unaccompanied luggage items from Lufthansa, flight LH-631 from Kuwait, ex tray no. B-4809, B-6001, B-7418!
    It is not clear up today whether this mysterious baggage items were loaded in London-Heathrow on the mainflight, PA-103 to NewYork (JFK).
    Commissioner Hans Jürgen Fuhl (ex Crown Witness no. 566) from the German Federal Criminal Investigations Bureau (BKA) testified at Camp van Zeist: "in Heathrow documents were destroyed"…

    Summary of the original testimony of Commissioner Hans Jürgen Fuhl from 'German Bundes Kriminal Amt' BKA (Crown Witness 566):

    Other organisations who were investigating the bombing had taken some of the documentation before the BKA could get their hands on it. Fuhl also testified that PanAm had apparently instructed staff at Heathrow to destroy documentation. (Ref. Doc.1 Chapter 13 page 38)

    To not forget: The "Lockerbie-Affair" is a criminal scandal...

  8. Ebol no amount infinite repetative unintelligible comments will ever assuage the guilt you feel for trying to frame Megrahi for reward money in the first place. All you do is annoy everyone, discredit this excellent blog and confirm everyone's opinion that you are nuts.PLEASE stop. If you want to help Megrahi, if you want to help JFM blog-off. You post on every single page the same useless crap. We just skip down past it now.


    You made stuff up in your fake CIA letter. You told fairy stories in court that confused the court and harmed the defence. You did all this not for the truth, or justice but for MONEY. No one listens to your rants and you just embarrass yourself & this great, worthwhile blog. You more than anyone are to blame for Megrahi's sentence and the ongoing pain it causes to the victims' families. You bet that either the DOJ or Libya would reward you for your lies, you are like the dumb gambling addict who bet it all on a 1000-1 lame horse that fell at the first fence and is never getting up.There is no chance of a reward now.That ship has sailed. as for your guilt? Go see a priest. Many people are working for an inquiry and a fresh appeal. They have 3 things you willl never have: integrity, stuff worth saying, and credibility. Let them get on with their job, the very least you can do at this point is not make the job even harder than it is.

    Ebol, keine unendliche Menge wiederholter, unverständlicher Kommentare wird jemals die Schuld lindern, die Sie für den Versuch haben, Megrahi als Belohnungsgeld einzustufen. Alles, was Sie tun, ist, alle zu ärgern, diesen ausgezeichneten Blog zu diskreditieren und die Meinung aller zu bestätigen, dass Sie verrückt sind. BITTE aufhören. Wenn Sie Megrahi helfen möchten, wenn Sie JFM beim Blog-Off helfen möchten. Sie posten auf jeder einzelnen Seite den gleichen nutzlosen Mist. Wir springen jetzt einfach vorbei.
    Sie haben in Ihrem falschen CIA-Brief Sachen gemacht. Sie haben vor Gericht Märchen erzählt, die das Gericht verwirrten und der Verteidigung schaden. Sie haben das alles nicht für die Wahrheit oder Gerechtigkeit getan, sondern für GELD. Niemand hört sich Ihre Rants an und Sie schämen sich nur selbst und dieses großartige, lohnende Blog. Sie sind mehr als irgendjemand Schuld an Megrahis Urteil und den andauernden Schmerzen, die die Familien der Opfer verursachen. Sie wetten, dass entweder das DOJ oder Libyen Sie für Ihre Lügen belohnen würde, Sie sind wie der stumme Glücksspielsüchtige, der alles auf ein 1000-1 lahmes Pferd gesetzt hat, das am ersten Zaun gefallen ist und niemals aufsteht. Es besteht keine Chance eine Belohnung jetzt. Dieses Schiff ist gesegelt. wie für deine Schuld? Gehen Sie zu einem Priester. Viele Leute arbeiten für eine Untersuchung und einen neuen Appell. Sie haben drei Dinge, die Sie nie haben werden: Integrität, wertvolles Zeugnis und Glaubwürdigkeit. Lassen Sie sie mit ihrem Job weitermachen. Das
