Responsibility for the...Well said Robert and Edwin. Responsibility for the actions of its officials does not imply that Libya was guilty of the bombing since its "Officials" did not carry it out. That is why the US/Uk governments are so desperate to prevent any appeal that would clear Megrahi. As for sponsoring terrorism obviously that doesn't include Moderate terrorists which we have been sponsoring now for some years.

NB: Mr Khalifa Fhimah (was not a official) has freely spoken.<BR/><BR/>2.< Libya was forced by Great Britain, the USA and the UN,to make this declaration. Without this explanation the suspended UN Embargo would have been taken against Libya again!<BR/><BR/>3.> The official Mr. Abdelbaset Al Megrahi, condemned to 27 years prison legally,does not have to do anything with the PanAm-103 assassination attempt!<BR/><BR/>The upcoming second Appeal judgement at the High Court in Edinburgh will bring the truth to the day.<BR/> <BR/>With our conviction Edwin & Mahnaz Bollier, <BR/>MEBO Ltd.

It did not admit that any of its officials played a part in the bombing. Here is what the SCCRC said in its Press Release of 28 June 2007:<BR/><BR/>'6.3 The Commission also took into account a letter submitted by Libya to the United Nations Security Council in 2003 in which it accepted “responsibility for the actions of its officials” in the “Lockerbie incident”. However, as the Commission did not view the letter as amounting to confirmation by Libya of the applicant’s guilt, it did not believe that its terms justified refusing his case in the interests of justice.'Robert Blackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03606456028430261555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1073021351804532798.post-15990285280253464162008-08-27T16:35:00.000+01:002008-08-27T16:35:00.000+01:00Hmm.

To it we might add the following:<BR/><BR/>Shukri Ghanem was Prime Minister of Libya from 2003 to 2006. <BR/><BR/>He said twice in BBC radio and television interviews that in spite of the above letter of "admission", Libya was not in fact responsible.<BR/><BR/>The question was put to him: "Why then say that it was and pay compensation of $2.7 billion?"<BR/><BR/>Answer: "After the sanctions and after the problems we [have] been facing because of the sanctions, the loss of money, we thought that it was easier for us to buy peace, and this is why we agreed a compensation. We said, let us buy peace, let us put the whole thing behind us, and let us move forward."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
