UTA 772 and Pan Am 103

Today being Bastille Day, it seems appropriate to provide a reminder of what may be regarded as the principal link between France and the Lockerbie disaster. This is the destruction of UTA flight 772 over Niger on 19 September 1989 resulting in the deaths of all 170 passengers and crew on board the DC-10 aircraft. References to this tragedy on this blog, dating from 7 January 2008 to 28 May 2013, can be accessed here.

The tragedy of UTA Flight 772 blown up over the Sahara desert 1989

With respect to the families of the UTA 772 victims
The truth is the silence of the desert ...

UTA 772 bombings that were blamed on Libya, were obviously wrong according to MEBO.

May I modestly also recommend my own (pretty objective) summary of 00this quite complex case "The Bombing of UTA772" AT PART X of "The Masonic Verses" http://e-zeecon.blogspot.com. I wrote it as I could not find any account in English or much of a satisfactory one in French.

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.
