In a letter in today's edition of The Guardian, the Foreign Secretary, David Milliband, says this:
'It is factually wrong to say that we tried to conceal potentially exculpatory material from Mr Mohamed's defence counsel.
'Far from withholding documents, it was the British government which pressed for and secured the release of these documents by the US to his defence counsel in October 2008. This was the result of strenuous efforts on our part, as the high court said. We also disclosed considerable UK intelligence material in the court proceedings in this country, which was discussed at length in the court's publicly available judgments from last August onwards. We have also made that material available to parliament's intelligence and security committee, the body with the constitutional responsibility for the oversight of the work of the intelligence and security agencies.
'The point in issue in the recent judgment of the high court was not that, but whether the courts in one country should order the public disclosure of another country's intelligence material without that country's permission. We argued that they should not, given the fundamental principle that intelligence documents are shared on the basis of confidentiality, and should only be disclosed by the originators of the information.'
Whatever the UK Foreign Office's stance may have been in the Binyam Mohamed case, in Abdelbaset Megrahi's current appeal there is no doubt whatsoever that the FCO tried to conceal potentially exculpatory material from Mr Megrahi's defence counsel -- and that it succeeded, the relevant material being disclosed only to a special (security-vetted) advocate and not to Megrahi's chosen legal team.
"Legende" of Shopkeeper Tony Gauci's alleged customer who buy of clothes allegedly on 7 December 1988, in its fashion shop Mary's House in Sliema, Malta...
ReplyDeleteThe ex crown witness no. 695, Tony Gauci was absolutely not credible! Before the "Lockerbie-process" began (2000) Gauci gave some different questionable statements to Scottish police between September of 1989 and February,1991.
Gauci volunteered for police that his brother had shown him a newspaper image of a Palestinian terrorist named Mohammed Abu Talb. Talb had been convicted in the 1985 bombing of a Northwest Airlines office in Copenhagen.
In that earlier statement (1990), according to the police transcript, Gauci said: "I think the photograph in the newspaper may have been the man who bought the clothing. He looks like him."
MEBO clears up: Abu Talb is not the buyer of the clothes with Gauci, because Abu Talb, left Malta on 26 October 1988, as can be proved and did not return. (since 26 Okt.1988, currently serving a life sentence in Sweden).
Beginning 1999 an other shopkeeper in the Tower Road showing Gauci a magazine with the portrait and a article and the about the Lockerbie disaster. (Prod. 451, image 67). Gauci taking the magazine and showing it to Mr Scicluna, the police officer. Gauci recognise the photograph and he say: "I thought he looked like the man who bought from me, but his hair was much shorter and he didn't wear glasses; this chap looks like the man who bought articles from me".
In April of 1999 Gauci visit with scottish police officers Holland, for a identification parade.
After intentional influence by the police officer before the parade exhibition.
Excerpt, trail Kamp van Zeist:---- A- Yes, I looked and told him. I said, "This case was 11 years ago. I believe that the man who came to my--in my shop is number 5. But I also added that the case was 11 years ago. This is what I said.-------
please, Production 1324, image 5110. (Mebo: Person no.5 was Mr Abdelbaset al Megrahi!)
Why police officer Harry Bell had not show the photo-portrait (Q13 of Magjid Giaka) to Gauci ?
Before was published, the US/UK Indictment against the Libyan official Fhimah and Megrahi, on 14th/15th November 1991, a further determining US meeting with Giaka took place. On 14th September 1991 Giaka left the Maltese shores unofficially by US boat and transferred to the USS Navy Vessel "Butte" 27 miles away from Malta. On the ship there were special agent Philip Reid, FBI official Harold Hendershot and Nicholas H****, Arabic language interpreter and he enters the witness protection program.
Magjid Giaka alias "Puzzlepiece", was not a "Shirrker" and a "Liar" as the FBI tries to put him today, it was according to the CIA cables and other indications, the central man at Malta, in the conspiracy against Libya and its orders stand still under national security!
After the PanAm 103 tragedy, it is disclosed in one of the classified cables, Giaka was under pressure from his customer to get additional indication of events against Abdelbaset al Megrahi and Lamin Khalifah Fhimah, inside the Libyan Arab Airlines station at Luqa Airport, before 21th December 1988. Giaka had get the order for the clothes purchase, on 6th November 1988. This meeting was held in safe house at Malta. Another meeting was at 5th December, before Abdelbaset al Megrahi arrived on 7th December in Malta and a meeting was on 20th December 1988, the day before the Lockerbie-tragedy!
The alleged Eywitness, ex no. 684, against Mr. Abdelbaset al Megrahi, Abdul Magjid Razkaz Giaka, a Libyan secret service defector for CIA, was on 23 November 1988, around 19:00 clock, the bouyer of Gauci's clothes in "Mary's House"!
A research work at the University of Zurich holds that humans stored the face of another humans within seconds, for years in the brain, if these persons had audioal + visuell come together. A later confrontation brings, during a face recognition a high accuracy.
Mebo recommendation: Why the Scottish Justice had it missed in this "high-explosive" case, the two persons, Mr. Abdul Magjid Giaka and Mr. Abdelbaset Al Megrahi to confront to the Shopkeeper Tony Gauci visually and audioal? An absolute and unbelievable negligence with fatal effects for Mr. Megrahi! A visual and audioal confrontation between Giaka and Megrahi should be retrieved immediately.
The Scottish accusation is of itself convinced: the Lockerbie proces has been steered by one thing: Our proofs !!!
MEBO question: political proofs ???
