If ever Muammar and Saif al-Gaddafi, and Abdullah al-Senussi are brought before the International Criminal Court, those well-researched and informative articles ought imho to be adduced in the three Libyans' defence.<br /><br />I found the video interview with former French Intelligence chief Yves Bonnet very interesting. Bonnet maintained that Gaddafi was wrongly blamed for both Lockerbie and Ténéré (UTA Flight 772): both were down to Iran and Ahmed Jibril, according to the former DST chief.

There are quite a few modern, liberal types involved, but also a very strong Islamist aspect to it, especially among the bearded front-line shock troops responsible for the worst human rights abuses. And temporary or not, the NTC's legal code until taking Tripoli was Sharia law, perhaps just to keep the Islamists on board for the duration of fighting. The report takes great interest in that pandered-to portion, and for good reason.<br /><br />AdamCaustic Logichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03082923821952309709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1073021351804532798.post-88703220121866742672011-10-16T20:57:01.772+01:002011-10-16T20:57:01.772+01:00I don't see how the report can be so good if i...I don't see how the report can be so good if it gets fundamentals wrong. The uprising was overwhelmingly NOT an Islamic uprising though there were Islamic factions. The east of Libya was a tinderbox - the French with US support triggered it.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07713759926710072249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1073021351804532798.post-81281174163011985872011-10-16T20:26:37.411+01:002011-10-16T20:26:37.411+01:00MISSION LOCKERBIE, 2011, doc. nr. 7045.rtf.

(google translation, german/english):<br /><br />With one piece of evidence, a manipulated fragment of a MST-13 timer circuit board (PT-35) Libya has been made legally responsible for the bombing of Pan Am 103...<br />If the Scottish Justice would be willing to help the Libyan's NTC in the truth-finding in the "Lockerbie Affair", could do with a new forensic examination of the "MST-13" timer fragments: "PT-35" - "PT-35 (b)" and DP -31 (a) -- within 10 minutes the exoneration of Libya can demonstrated !<br />The testimony at Kamp van Zeist, of witness nr. 335, Allen Feraday, should be considered as fact in the follow-up, for example:<br />Q- I see. Could we then, whilst keeping that photograph on the screen, look at photograph 334. And is it possible to have 330 as well. And if it's possible, could we magnify 330. If we look at 334, Mr. Feraday, what does that show us?<br />A- That's a photograph of fragment PT/35 as recovered in the laboratory. <br />Q- Is that prior to the removal of any samples? <br />A- That is correct. Yes, sir.<br /><br />Result: the 20 MST-13 timer *(with green coloured circuit boards) which MEBO Ltd. have delivered to Libya, was constructed with *9-layers of fiberglass. <br />The original proof fragment from the MST-13 Timer: (PT-35) (ex-brown coloured ) were from a Prototype and later in the Siemens company split in two parts: PT-35 (b) = nr. 353 and DP-31 (a) = nr. 419; this circuit boards was constructed with 8- layers of fiberglass. This can be tested, in the Scottish Justice Archive by the preserved original fragments nr. 419 and nr. 353. <br />Such prototypes of MST-13 timers were not delivered to Libya, therefore Libya can not be associated with the bombing of Pan Am 103 !<br />The libyan official Abdelbaset Al Megrahi and Libya have to do nothing in the Lockerbie-Tragedy !<br />by Edwin and Mahnaz Bollier, MEBO Ltd.
