The Lockerbie Case: Give us Lockerbie probe, Alex

Give us Lockerbie probe, Alex

This is the headline over a report published today in the Scottish edition of The Sun. The one sentence that is accessible in front of the newspaper's paywall reads: "Lockerbie campaigner Dr Jim Swire last night called on Alex Salmond to launch a probe into the jet bombing."

If any reader of this blog who has access to the full article cares to send me the text, I shall reproduce excerpts from it here.

Justice for Megrahi's petition for an independent inquiry into the Lockerbie investigation and the prosecution, trial and conviction of Abdelbaset Megrahi (of which Dr Swire is one of the sponsors) can be read here.

Addendum: I am grateful to Alan Clark, author of The "Lockerbie Bomber" play for sending me this copy of The Sun's article.

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.
