A lengthy article by Susanne Härpfer entitled "Versclusssache Lockerbie" has just been published on the German website Telepolis. The translated subtitle reads "When the case of the attack on flight Pan Am 103 over Lockerbie is reconsidered, the solution probably lies in Germany." The author relies on two books written by a former BND (German intelligence service) officer,Wilhem Dietl, and on the views of Dr David Thomas Schiller, an expert on terrorism and the Middle East. The "true" Lockerbie story, as related by Ms Härpfer, involves the familiar names of Khreesat, Dalkamoni and the Herbstlaub (Autumn Leaves) operation in Neuss. The article is long, detailed and closely argued, and should be particularly interesting to English-speaking readers in that it uses sources not familiar to those who have had to rely on English-language coverage of the affair. A full translation into English would be welcome for those who have no German or whose German, like mine, is rusty.
