Iranian intelligence defector: Pan Am 103 was the work of Iran.
[The Telegraph] The Lockerbie bombing was ordered by Iran and carried out by a Syrian-based terrorist group, a former Iranian intelligence officer has admitted.

Abolghassem Mesbahi, a defector to Germany, said Pan Am flight 103 was downed in 1988 in retaliation for a US Navy strike on an Iranian commercial jet six months earlier, in which 290 people died.

He claims the Ayatollah Khomeini, who was Iran’s Supreme Leader, ordered the bombing “to copy exactly what happened to the Iranian Airbus”.

Previously unseen evidence gathered for the aborted appeal hearing of Abdelbaset al-Megrahi, the former Libyan intelligence officer convicted of the bombing, supports Mr Mesbahi’s claim and suggests that the bombers belonged to the extremist group the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine – General Command (PFLP-GC).

Documents obtained by Al Jazeera television for a documentary called Lockerbie: What Really Happened? name key individuals said to be involved in the bombing, including the alleged bomb-maker, the alleged mastermind and the man who may have put the bomb on the doomed Boeing 747.
New reporting and potential confirmation on an old theory.

#1 Visiting Dryfesdale cemetery many years ago, reminded me of my first visit to the Vietnam memorial. A strange combination of sadness, fear, and then anger. But much later, glad we had made the journey. Among the many dead, like Benghazi, were a few 'quiet professionals' trying to protect us from the scourge of Islam.

#2 Qaddafi paid several $B back in 2003 or so

in addition, the Al Jaz types who did the investigation are working for a gang that wants to get the west to side with sunnis against shia islam and its allies
