Spare a thought for Lockerbie

[This is the heading over a segment of the column Richard Ingrams's Week in today's edition of The Independent. It reads as follows:]

Busily castigating the US intelligence services for their failures over the bomb attempt in a plane headed for Detroit, President Obama could well spend a moment or two of his time over their record with a previous and successful act of terrorism, the Lockerbie bombing of 1988.

A BBC Newsnight report this week revived interest in the long-running Lockerbie saga when John Wyatt, an explosives expert employed by the UN, gave details of extensive tests he had conducted on a replica of the timer allegedly used to blow up the Pan Am plane. It was a fragment of such a timer that helped to convict Abdul al Megrahi of the bombing. Yet in none of Wyatt's 20 test explosions did any single identifiable fragment survive. In a lengthy email to President Obama before Christmas, Lockerbie campaigner Dr Jim Swire, whose daughter Flora was killed in the explosion, had already drawn his attention to the suspect evidence about the time given at Megrahi's trial by FBI agent Thomas Thurman who also featured in the Newsnight report.

Dr Swire also referred the President to the fact that one of the key British witnesses for the prosecution, Alan Feraday of the Defence Evaluation and Research Agency, had been discredited in an IRA bombing case and that the Lord Chief Justice declared his evidence to be "dogmatic in the extreme" and ruled that "he should not be allowed to present himself as an expert in this field". So who, Dr Swire asks, authorised the employment of Feraday in the Lockerbie case, and why?

[Dr Swire was interviewed on these matters this morning on the BBC Radio Scotland programme Newsweek Scotland. The interview is available on the BBC iPlayer.]

  1. The Wikipedia article on Alan Feraday was originally deleted by Administrator JzG on 24 March 2008 because it was "created by a conspiracy theorist to promote his conspiracy theory, utterly unacceptable."

    I re-created the biography on 14 May 2009 and it was re-deleted by Administrator Brandon on 24 June 2009.

    As a result, I was blocked from editing any Lockerbie-related articles on Wikipedia.

  2. MISSION LOCKERBIE: The MST-13 Timer 'SWINDLE'

    Es ist interessant auf welche Art BBC-TV den MST-13 Timer (PT/35) 'SWINDLE' zu vertuschen (hush up) versucht, bevor Secretary of Justice, Kenny MacAskill die vesprochenen (SCCRC) Dokumente, veröffentlichen will...

    In the Newsnight Lockerbie TV- segment, "Flaws in key Lockerbie evidence", the UN's European consultant on explosives, John Wyatt, found that the circuit board “evidence” relied upon in the discredited Crown case against Abdelbaset Ali Mohmed Al Megrahi could not have survived a semtex explosion as claimed in the trial.

    Diese Annahme ist falsch! Wenn tatsächlich ein MST-13 Timer die Explosion auf PanAm 103 aktiviert hätte, (was im PanAm 103 Fall absolut auszuschliessen ist) wäre es möglich gewesen, dass ein Fragment in der Grösse von (PT/35) überlebt hätte !
    Militärische Versuche haben gezeigt, dass bei grösseren Explosionen Fragmente in der Grösse von (PT/35) überstehen, da das Circuit Bord aus 8-9 Lagen zähen Fiberglas besteht!

    Es ist erstaundlich, dass im BBC Video für den 'SWINDLE' das manipulierte scottishe Polizei-Label PT-95 (gefälscht auf PI-995) gezeigt wurde. Leider wurde aber die Erklärung unterschlagen, dass das Label für den 'SWINDLE', des Timerfragment PT/35, (MST-13) missbraucht wurde!
    Auf dem Label (PI-995) wurde gezeigt, dass das Wort "cloths" with "DEBRIS" nachträglich überschrieben wurde!
    Es wurde ebenfalls in der BBC-Berichterstattung ausgeblendet, dass das Polizei Label PI-995, nachträglich von 5 zusätzlichen offiziellen Personen unterschrieben wurde, total 7 Unterschriften !!!

    Willful falsification:
    1.> The MARKING, PI-995, of a fragment of a grey Slalom shirt, was remodeled then abused, for a police LABEL as NUMBER, PI-995!

    2.> Dr. Thomas Hayes and Allen Feraday (RARDE) needed some similar police Label, with date of January 13th, 1989, also for a criminal act against Libya ! Therefore the original police Label No. PT-95, was changed/falsified as follow:

    > This police Label no. PT-95, became Label no. PI-995;
    > The date, 13th of January 1989 (down left) remained existing and
    became supplemented with the date, 17th of January 1989;
    > The word "cloths", (charred), for the Article, became with the
    word "DEBRIS" (charred) overwritten!

    3.> To demonstrate the liabillity the Label was later additionally signed by 5 further officials: Dr. Thomas Hayes; Allen Feraday; Derek Henderson; Ron McManus and Cal Mentoso.
    MEBO Question: Did these people had to take the responsibility on themselves, if the criminal fraud would be noticed? And did each official have to secure himself face to face from the others? It is strange and not normal that the altered police Label no. PI-995 was signed by 7 officials...
    (Lord Advocate Fraser's order was that police Labels must by signed by 2 officials).

  3. Interesting - seven signatures, huh?

    Also, I can see how a T could have been made into an I (with big serifs), but I don't see any reason to think this was done nor the reason for doing so at the moment. What am I missing?

  4. Who said: If you cannot convince them - confuse them!
    Dear Ebol what is the aim of your post? Does it make any sense at all?
    1. How can you dispute what Mr Wyatt actually found out?
    2. What are the "militärischen Versuche" you refer to? Who did them? Did they try to recreate the essential parameters of the Lockerbie case? Or did the explosions take place in the Libyan desert for quite different purposes?

    ReplyDelete
  5. PS: In your "militärischen Versuche" you used MST-13 in casings, I believe. In the alleged Lockerbie Bomb there was no casing.

  7. MISSION LOCKERBIE: to Caustic Logic,

    I examined the manipulated Scottish policy PI-995 personally in the original. As can be proved free of doubts various text on this Label was changed!

    The criminal manipulation of the police label (Lothian and Borders) was the foundation for the fraud with the MST-13 timer fragment (PT-35):

    Why the Scottish Justiciary wants obviously the criminal facts of U.K. Officials in the case of Lockerbie do not clear up and confirm, which Libya and Mr. Abdelbaset Al-Megrahi absolutely can relieve?

    Proof free of doubts falsifications in a particularly heavy case, fabricated of U.K. Officials, was accepted by the Scottish court in Kamp van Zeist;

    The found fragments of the PanAm 103 Crash, around Lockerbie, were provided in each case approximately with a POLICE LABEL. The found material was marked (under article) with a MARKING (code) and signed with date, of two police official.

    Court Kamp van Zeist: Day 6, page 966:

    +++ On the 13th of January 1989, Witness number 257, Mr. Thomas Gilchrist recovered Label 168, which was known as PI-995, a fragment of grey Slalom shirt. +++ end

    MEBO uncovers as example, the following case:

    LABEL No.168; Article: a fragment of grey Slalom shirt, with the MARKING as PI-995; Date 13th of January 1989; signature from Thomas Gilchrist and unknown.

    Willful falsification:
    1.> The MARKING, PI-995, of a fragment of a grey Slalom shirt, was remodeled then abused, for a police LABEL as NUMBER, PI-995!

    2.> Dr. Thomas Hayes and Allen Feraday (RARDE) needed some similar police Label, with date of January 13th, 1989, also for a criminal act against Libya ! Therefore the original police Label No. PT-95, was changed/falsified as follow:

    > This police Label no. PT-95, became Label no. PI-995;
    > The date, 13th of January 1989 (down left) remained existing and became supplemented with the date, 17th of January 1989;
    > The word "cloths", (charred), for the Article, became with the word "DEBRIS" (charred) overwritten!

    3.> To demonstrate the liabillity the Label was later additionally signed by 5 further officials: Dr. Thomas Hayes; Allen Feraday; Derek Henderson; Ron McManus and Cal Mentoso.
    MEBO Question: Did these people had to take the responsibility on themselves, if the criminal fraud would be noticed? And did each official have to secure himself face to face from the others? It is strange and not normal that the altered police Label no. PI-995 was signed by 7 officials...
    (Lord Advocate Fraser's order was that police Labels must by signed by 2 officials).

    4.> Dr. Hayes needed the manipulated police Label PI-995, for his mysterious eximination auxiliary side no. 51, from 12th of May 1989!
    With this Label PI-995, expert Dr. Hayes marked only one plastic bag with contents.
    From contents inside the plastic bag, Ref. PP'8932, was registered various material, which was found allegedly in Lockerbie by the police:

    Among other things, a portion of the ? neckband of a grey? short, severely explosion damage localised penetrations and blackering. etc.;
    Under the marking PT-35, a) several fragments of black plastics;
    Under the marking PT-35, b) was an unknown "fragment of a green coloured circuit board", was registered and depictured on Ref. PP 8932, PI-995;
    Under the marking PT-35, c) small fragments of metal + wire.

    continuation down >>>

    ReplyDelete
  8. >>> continuation

    5.> On the original photo Ref, PP 8932, PI-995, the red encircled fragment shows not a green MST-13 circuit board fragment designated as PT-35, but a brown coloured fragment from a prototype.
    The first evidence photography together with photo no. 334, shows the fragment of the circuit board in the original condition, before forensic sawing into two parts. (part. no. 353 = PT-35 (b); and part. no. 419 = DP-31(a).)
    The fragment comes from a MEBO prototype timer MST-13 circuit board, brown coloured and has a in-scratched, well visible letter "M" on it.

    6.> The fragment from photo Ref. PP 8932, PI-995 and photo no. 334, was -as can be proved-, (determined of visible technical characteristics) not green coloured, but brown! The delivered MST-13 timer to Libya were equipped with green circuit boards.
    Thus the MST-13 fragment (PT-35) cannot be brought in connection with MST-13 timers, supplied to Libya!

    7.> Dr. Hayes needed the altered label PI-995 in his falsified eximination report side no. 51, dated of May 12th 1989, to bring into the MST-13 fragment, as PT-35. The original side numbers, 51 to 55, were overwritten by Dr. Hayes with no. 52 to 56!
    To the memory: Allen Feraday had discovered the MST-13 Fragment for the first time on 12th of January 1990 and Dr. Hayes booked back the date to May 12th 1989!!!

    8.> On following date, 17th January 1989; 12th May 1989 and 15th September 1989, existed still no fragment of a MST-13 timer neither still to photos with the illustration of the MST-13 timer fragment ! The fragment was seized for the first time, photographed at the beginning of January 1990, by expert Allen Feraday (RARDE) and registered as PT-35!

    Referring to fax document from 12th of January 1990, Allen Feraday, the forensic examiner, hat sent to Scottish senior Investigating Chief Stuart Henderson (SIO), about a circuit board (PT-35) he found blasted into a Slalom shirt.
    Thus the fraud becomes evident over the MST-13 fragment (PT-35): All Examinations documents, like reports, label, memorandum etc., which the MST-13 fragment (PT-35) was published before 1990, are willful, manipulated or falsified among other things of Feraday and Dr. Thomas Hayes, (RARDE)!!



    Answer to Adam:

    Sie können in den Gerichtsprotokollen von Kamp van Zeist nachlesen, unter Witness No. 548, Edwin Bollier: Bei einer militärischen Übung in der Libyschen Wüste, wurden aus Sicherheitsgründen vor dem Start eines Airfighter, bei zwei Airfight-Bomben, zwei MST-13 Timer eingebaut. Die Schutz- Gehäuse mussten wegen der kleinen Einfüll-Öffnung bei den Bomben entfernt werden.
    Nach dem Abwurf explodierte eine Bombe erst am Boden. Teile des MST-13 Timer und des Motorola Pager Comand-Receiver wurden im Umkreis von ca. 500m gefunden. The circuit boards were not pulverized !

    I want to only show that with direct contact with Semtex explosive, a PC-board circuit, becomes not pulverized.

  11. So, Edwin what you are saying is "that with direct contact with Semtex explosive, a PC-board circuit, becomes not pulverized."

    Strange then that Richard Ingram's article said: "Yet in none of Wyatt's 20 test explosions did any single identifiable fragment survive."

    Edwin, please tell us about any forensic tests (that you or others have carried out) where we can verify "that with direct contact with Semtex explosive, a PC-board circuit, becomes not pulverized."

    The head of the Fort Halstead forensic explosives laboratory, Alan Feraday, knew that this 'fragment of the imagination' had been fabricated. Feraday was only too well aware that a semtex or PETN explosive device would have annihilated all trace of the IED and its components.

    NB: This is only a Babylon computer translation, german/english:

    While military aircraft-bomb tests in the desert of Sheba, from two remote controlled 150 kg military bomb. one of this had exploded not 150 m over ground, but at the ground. The military soldiers collected after the explosion all fragments in the periphery of approx. 100 m (500m).
    Unbelievably but truth, a MST-13 timer and a command receiver, was without large damages but of course defective! The Circuit boards was not split into individual fragments!!
    The military aircraft-bomb which filled with approx. 50 kg of explosives Semtex and the comand receiver and the MST-13 timer (without case) was directly with the explosives.

  13. Does anybody else know anything about aerial bombs filled with Semtex and a timer (In other armed forces)?

    ReplyDelete
  14. to Adam:
    Timer-action bomb
    A Timer delay-action bomb is an aerial bomb designed to explode some time after impact with the ground, with the bomb's fuses set to delay the explosion for times ranging from a few seconds to several days. Such bombs were used widely by British aviators during World War II. The bombs were typically used to destroy airfields. Any military bomb could have a delay action timer, with secondary fuses activated by chemical fuse, clockwork mechanism or even a electronic timer fuse.

  15. Certainly, Ebol. I should have underlined the word Semtex.

  16. I've just listened to Dr Swire's interview on the BBC iPlayer (starts 47.50, ends 53.18).

    Dr Swire confirmed the credentials of Dr John Wyatt (PhD in explosives engineering) who conducted extensive tests - reported on Newsnight - on a replica of the timer allegedly used to blow up Pan Am Flight 103. In none of Dr Wyatt's 20 test explosions did any single identifiable fragment survive.

    Dr Swire said that he had long campaigned for a full inquiry into the Lockerbie bombing. That inquiry should now focus on Alan Feraday who had originally "found" the timer fragment that was used to convict Abdelbaset Megrahi. Actions by the Scottish police should also be investigated, as should the suppression for 12 years of the fact that there had been a break-in at Heathrow airport on the night of 20/21 December 1988.

    At the end of the interview, Dr Swire was asked if he now claimed that the timer fragment had been 'planted'. He replied: "That's how it looks."

    In his recent letter to President Obama, Dr Swire referred to the fact that one of the key British witnesses for the prosecution, Alan Feraday of the Defence Evaluation and Research Agency, had been discredited in an IRA bombing case and that the Lord Chief Justice declared his evidence to be "dogmatic in the extreme" and ruled that "he should not be allowed to present himself as an expert in this field".

    Richard Ingrams concluded his Spare a thought for Lockerbie article with: "So who, Dr Swire asks, authorised the employment of Feraday in the Lockerbie case, and why?"

    Surely, we don't need to await the setting up of a full Lockerbie inquiry to get the answer to those two simple questions!

  17. to Adam:

    The fillings of military Airfighter bombs with TNT and other explosives were partly equipped (starting from 1967) with SEMTEX and in the USA than C-4. Which army possess timer-action military Airfighter bombs filled with Semtex or C4 is not well-known (today secret).
    Semtex, manufactured in Czech Republic, is a general-purpose plastic explosive containing RDX and PETN. It is used in commercial blasting, demolition, and in certain military applications. For its original use in military it was manufactured under the name B 1. It is manufactured under its current name since 1964, labeled as SEMTEX 1A, since 1967 as SEMTEX H and since 1987 as SEMTEX 10.

  19. MISSION LOCKERBIE:
    Circuit board PT/35 = (MST-13 timerfragment) in connection with
    Eng. Ulrich Lumpert's Affidavit from 18th July, 2007, excerpt page no:

    2) I confirm today on 18th July 2007 that I stole the third handmanufactured MST-13 Timer PC-Board consisting of 8 layers of fiberglass from MEBO Ltd. and gave it without permission on *22nd June 1989 to a person officially-investigating in the "Lockerbie case".

    3) At this *time I did not know , that the MST-13 Timer PC-Board was used for a specific purpose in connection with the attack on PanAm 103, otherwise I would have requested permission from one of the owners of M/S Mebo Ltd (Meister or Bollier) to release the MST-13 PC-Board.

    4) In addition I have handed over without permission a summary of the production films, hand-stuck templates and the blueprints of the MST-13 Timer production in a yellow evelope to Det. Superintendent James Gilchrist, Scottish Police. ----

    34 days later, on 26th July 1989, the expert Allen Feraday received from USA via (RARDE) information about possible inclusions of a MST-13 timer, which could have activated the explosion on PanAm 103...

    In Feraday's report 181, page 131 is written: This fragment, (PT/35 (b), represents the only recovered piece of the modification to the Toshiba radio which would have been necessary to convert it into a delayed-action bomb.
    It is known that MEBO MST-13 timers have previously been recovered in association with explosives and other terrorist equiment".

    Excerpt court record from Kamp van Zeist:

    +++ Q-- (Mr. Feraday) Could you look for a moment, then, at your report 181, page 131. I think you say there, in the first paragraph on that page, in the last sentence:

    "This fragment, PT/35 (b), represents the only recovered piece of the modification to the Toshiba radio which would have been necessary to convert it into a delayed-action bomb. It is known that MEBO MST-13 timers have previously been recovered in association with explosives and other terrorist equipment." Was that you reporting simply information that had been given to you, rather than knowledge that you had at first hand, Mr. Feraday?

    A-- Yes. It's from a report, yes, that I eventually received. Yes.
    Q--I see. And if you turn to your report at page 169, on the foot of the page, and your conclusion, the last sentence beginning on that page, you report: "The MST-13 timer has previously been used in improvised explosive devices." Again, Mr. Feraday, is that something that was reported to you, or is it a matter within your own direct knowledge?
    A-- It's something which again is contained in a report that's submitted to me.

    Q-- I see. And who submitted this report to you, Mr. Feraday?
    A-- I think -- I don't know where the report actually came from, but I think -- it was drawn up in America somewhere and then was sent to Fort Halstead, and then it eventually found its way to me.

    Q-- I see. Could you turn back to your file, Production 1498. This is a document which is not on the Flip Drive, but is in the production, My Lords. It's towards the very back. And it's a letter of 26th July 1989 from the Lord Advocate copied to, amongst others, RARDE, some 13 or 14 pages on from the index, which is marked in Your Lordships' hard copy. Do you have that, Mr. Feraday?
    A-- Could you -- I have my file. Could you explain the document that you are looking at?
    Q-- Yes. It is headed up by a cover sheet of 26th July, which identifies RARDE and says: "The attached communication from the Lord Advocate, dated 26th July, is referred to you for information and any necessary action."

    We have here a great new argument. Lockerbie was done with 1/300th of these explosives. Anything less that a complete timer being found, hardly scratched, indicates that something fishy is going on.

    It is of course also possible that Mr. Bollier's memory and sense of reality fails him.

    Semtex is composed of PETN and RDX.

    Only a few grams of PETN is destructive. Here is a guy taking down a small tree with 20 g.
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aleeJ9Rg4Hw&NR=1

    Note that the tree is not just "broken". It is blasted away.

    If you fasten only one single gram to a circuit board like MST-13 it will be blown into many pieces.

    I played with much weaker explosives and circuitboards when I was 13.

    Putting a circuitboard (anything, actually) down "in the middle" of 150 kg Semtex, and finding it "without large damages" is likely to be a misunderstanding.

    ReplyDelete
  21. Thus, Dr Wyatt's test results are absolutely correct: timers, cassette radios, instruction manuals etc would all have been blown to smithereens by 1lb of semtex. And only a 'fragment of the imagination' could possibly have been found at Newcastleton after the Lockerbie bombing.

    Another question for Edwin:

    Your former employee, Ulrich Lumpert, gave an MST-13 timer "without permission on 22nd June 1989 to a person officially investigating in the 'Lockerbie case'."

    Please confirm the name of the person that Ueli gave the timer to: was it Alan Feraday by any chance?

  23. Thanks, Edwin, for clarifying these questions relating to the Lumpert Affidavit.

    Does Ueli remember the name of the Swiss Federal Police officer to whom he gave the MST-13 timer?

    And was it on the same day - 22nd June 1989 - that Ueli "handed over without permission a summary of the production films, hand-stuck templates and the blueprints of the MST-13 timer production in a yellow envelope to Detective Superintendent James Gilchrist of the Scottish Police"?

  26. Edwin Bollier named P. Flückiger and H. Knaus as the two Swiss Federal Police officers who visited MEBO in Zürich on 23rd April 1990. But Mr Bollier has never identified the officer who was given the MST-13 timer by Mr Lumpert on 22nd June 1989. He did however confirm that this timer very soon found its way to Alan Feraday at the Fort Halstead laboratory:

    "22nd June 1989: A prototype of a brown coloured MST-13 PC-board (circuit board) was handed over without Bolliers's knowledge to a Swiss police officer by Eng. Ulrich Lumpert (MEBO AG) for police examination. The police officer and Eng. Lumpert did at this time not know for which purpose the PC board was used!
    The PC board was handed over via the Scottish Police (officer Thomas Gilchrist, ex Witness no. 257) to experts Dr Thomas Hayes and Alan Feraday, both accredited at RARDE. (Notabene: it is common practice that police organisations exchange evidence among each other.)

    "18th July 1989: Alan Feraday and RARDE photographer Heines visited a second time FBI expert Tom Thurman in the USA. Explosive tests were simulated with containers and Toshiba radio recorders. If the MST-13 circuit board from Eng. Lumpert was included into the tests is not known.

    "15th September 1989: Between 18th July and the 15th September 1989 the MST-13 timer fragment was fabricated from the brown prototype MST-13 circuit board with the letter "M" scratched on it and polaroid pictures from this manipulated timer fragment were taken by RARDE photographer Heines.

    "10th December 1989: Third visit by Alan Feraday and Scottish Detective Chief Superintendent Stuart Henderson at the FBI in the USA. If the MST-13 timer fragment was brought to the States or only the Polaroid pictures of the fragment stays open."

  27. MISSION LOCKERBIE: to Patrick Haseldine:

    On 22 June 1989. Police Officer Peter Flückiger (BUPO) was with Meister & Bollier unknown. Flückiger visited engineer Mr. Ulrich Lumpert by MEBO, without knowledge of Meister & Bollier…
    Only after the Lockerbie- Pprocess in Kamp van Zeist, we learn that Officer Flückiger had visited the company MEBO Ltd., on 22nd of June 1989!

    EXCERPT, Kamp van Zeist:

    +++ --- Q- And were these photographs used during the first of the interviews that you told us about with Mr. Bollier on the 16th November of 1990? A- No. It wasn't in November. Well, I can remember such a booklet numbered 29 was put before Bollier by the Scottish official. But as far as I am concerned, I don't think I'ev seen that album. We were allowed to make copies quickly, and then the Scottish official put it away.

    From time to time we got pictures from Americans---- A- Look, chronologically speaking, I had written a memo on the 22nd of October 1990. There I took photographs and took them to Bollier, and these photographs came from the Americans. And he made his statement on the basis of the photographs. He made these statements to me, to the police. And then in November, when there was this interview of witnesses in Zurich, we worked with photographs, and I think Gilchrist brought this album with him. Q- All right. Your photographs came from America, is that so? A-That is correct. ---

    Q- In your memo, which we looked at a moment ago-- and perhaps we should have it back on the screen, Production 1562, image 4. In your note here you speak, I think, in the first paragraph about a previous meeting, is that so? A That is correct. Yes. Q What was the date of the previous meeting? A- I don't remember this by heart, but I can read it here. I wrote down 22nd of June 1989. It would have been on that date. Q- Thank you. Was that date of the previous meeting in connection with MST-13 timers? Mr. BURNS: Don't answer that question.-----

  28. MISSION LOCKERBIE:

    13th of September 1996, the Crown Office received a Document from an unknown state about the MST-13 Timer under national security ?

    SECRET documents which could prove the innocence of the man Abdelbaset al Megrahi and Libya, convicted of the Lockerbie bombing, are being hold by a secret government. Prosecuting counsel Ronnie Clancy said the document had not come from the United States or its agencies like the CIA, although he did not disclose the country involved.

    On the 5th of November 2007 Lumpert's affidavit was also confirmed by the Canton of Zurich by an official apostille.

    The result:
    To prevent international legal assistance from Switzerland and the potential disgrace for the Scottish justice system and to divert at the same time from the explosive affidavit of Lumpert, the newspaper „The Herald" communicated on the third of October 2007 that behind ground 5 of the SCCRC-report a top secret classified document "under national security" was hidden and that its content is about the MST-13 timer. This after the editor of the Herald was feeded with information from the secret and unpublished 800 pages report of the commission's findings.

    At the first hearing on the 19th of October 2007 the Appeal court in Edinburgh suddenly confirmed after more than 3 months the existence of a document "under national security"; but keeps ist content closed.

    This important document the British justice was in possession of since 1996 was kept away from the judges at Camp Zeist, the judges at the first appeal and Megrahi's defence team...

    Entitled question:
    Was Switzerland the unknown state which had delivered 13th of September 1996, under national security, a document to the Crown Office, about the clear facts over the MEBO MST-13 Timerfragment ? (Polaroidphoto picture, Scottish Police no. PT/35)

    The Lord Justice General’s decision to keep the secret document under closure indicates again very clearly that the whole process against Megrahi and Libya was from the very beginning a political process and not a fair criminal trial !
    In addition we expect opening of the SCCRC documents, which was announced to the secretary of justice, Kenny MacAskill, and opening of the dubious employment of the defence team...
