More pressure on Crown over Lockerbie bomb timer

This is the the headline over an article in today's issue of The Herald. The article consists largely of reactions from Scottish politicians to the articles published on 2 October regarding the Crown's alleged failure to disclose to the defence a CIA report that seemingly cast doubt on the Libyan link to the MST-13 timer that, according to the Crown scenario, detonated the bomb that destroyed Pan Am 103. Most of the politicians quoted call upon the Lord Advocate to make a statement to the Scottish Parliament explaining the Crown's stance. The article also discloses that the forthcoming appeal will be chaired by Lord Hamilton, the Lord Justice General, Scotland's most senior judge. The first appeal was chaired by his predecessor, Lord Cullen
