[This is the headline over a report on the BBC News website. It reads in part:]
The Scottish Parliament's justice committee has announced it will hold a short inquiry into the release of the Lockerbie bomber Abdelbaset al-Megrahi.
Scotland's Justice Secretary Kenny MacAskill released Megrahi, who is terminally ill, on compassionate grounds last month.
Opposition parties in the Scottish Parliament later united in a vote to condemn the SNP minister's move.
Now the justice committee has voted by a majority to probe the decision. (...)
The decision to release him sparked outrage in the US, where many of the victims were from.
Tory justice spokesman and justice committee convener, Bill Aitken, said: "This inquiry will be an opportunity for the Scottish Government to allay the concerns which many hold regarding the processes followed in the decision to release the Lockerbie bomber - irrespective of the rights and wrongs of the decision itself."
Just as the United Nations is about to launch an inquiry into the whole Lockerbie bombing issue, so the MSPs seem to want to debate the process of how Mr Megrahi came to be released. What a pathetic reaction by the Scottish parliament?
ReplyDeleteHow silly of the Tories, Labour and the Lib Dems to challenge retrospectively Kenny MacAskill's decision to let Mr Megrahi return to Libya to die?
Parliamentary time would be more productively spent by debating the future of the over-promoted Elish Angiolini - not the first Lord Advocate for Scotland to be demonstrably incompetent in office - and who should be sacked pdq!
MISSION LOCKERBIE:
ReplyDeleteThe dropping of the successful promising "Lockerbie appeal" was the central part for the freedom of Mr. Abdelbaset Al Megrahi!
Behind the surprising release of the innocent Mr. Abdelbaset Al Megrahi, did not stand an "Oil Deal" nor a ''Prisoner Transfer Agreement" with Libya, but the FEAR of Scotland's and Great Britain's, before the result and open secrets of the current Appeals (miscarriage of justice) and the following damages compensation from Libya up to 40 billion US$!
For this legal mission the secretary of Scottish Judiciary, Kenny MacAskill, needed from Mr. Megrahi, the dropping of the successful promising "Lockerbie-Appeal" and a medical certificate for a maximum 3 months life span. The truth is: The "Lockerbie-Affair" (not the PanAm 103 tragedy) was a UK conspiracy against Libya!
Mr. Megrahi persisted on its innocence and will clear his name. He wants to start a limited criminal investigation over the manipulated circumstantial evidences in relation to the newest defence evidences. Possible in Scotland or a larger EU or United Nations investigation into the case. Mr. Megrahi cannot be undoubtedly the Lockerbie Bomber !
Some of the Scottish Officials are the true criminals in the "Lockerbie Affair": ex-forensic scientist Dr. Thomas Hayes (RARDE) UK, ex-forensic expert Allen Feraday (RARDE) UK and three known persons of the Scottish police are responsible for manipulating evidence in the Lockerbie Affair and are still protected by the Scottish Justice! (They are not involved in the PanAm 103 bombing, but responsible for the conspiracy against Libya).
The large chance for Mr. Megrahi is coming to be cleared up with a complete investigation in the Lockerbie-Conspiracy against Libya. The honour of Mr. Megrahi and the prestige of Libya must be finally repaired. Libya and its Official Mr. Megrahi have nothing to do with the Lockerbie tragedy!
