Bollier: I was offered money by FBI to implicate Libya

The Scotsman of Saturday, 6 October has a story to the effect that Edwin Bollier (of MeBo, the Swiss company that manufactured the timer that is alleged to have detonated the bomb that destroyed Pan Am 103) was offered $4m (and a "new life" in the United States) by the FBI in Washington if he would give a statement identifying fragments found in the wreckage as coming from a timer supplied to Libya. Bollier says that he rejected the offer. See

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.
