Lockerbie bombing prosecutors target Libyan defector Moussa Koussa

[alp227]

Source: The Guardian

Scottish prosecutors have asked to interview Moussa Koussa about the Lockerbie bombing after the Libyan foreign minister and spy chief defected to Britain.

The request from the Crown Office in Scotland follows demands from Libya's rebel leadership for Koussa to be returned to Libya for trial for murder and crimes against humanity after Muammar Gaddafi is toppled from power.

William Hague, the British foreign secretary, has said the UK is not offering Koussa immunity from prosecution.

2. The following snips may come as news to many.

Swire, from UK Families of Pan Am Flight 103, and Black, emeritus professor of Scots law at Edinburgh University, have said they believe Megrahi is innocent. He remains the only man convicted of the bombing.

Swire said the weight of evidence pointed to Syria as the main culprit but "within the Libyan regime is in the best position of anyone other than Gaddafi himself to tell us what the regime knows or did. He would be a peerless source of information".

And consider this...

4. plus,the way the appeal by Megrahi was dropped in exchange for release, nobody can see the evidence

that his lawyers gathered (thousands of pages) that show the targets of the Lockerbie bombing were rogue CIA agents who were going back to testify in Washington DC about their involvement in the Lebanese hostage (Terry Anderson, et al.) situation. The rogue element was involved in the terrorist drug running (skimming for themselves and clandestine CIA ops, similar to what Oliver North was doing in Iran Contra). The US State Department and other US agencies pulled almost all their people off the flight, and dozens of Syracuse University students who were on standby to fly home for the holiday (because they wanted to save money) were thus let on the flight. They all died.

...in principle but they could have had enough sense to wait until after the Gaddafi regime have imploded.
