A dramatic mission to capture the freed Lockerbie bomber from Libya and return him to face justice in the United States was revealed last night.
| But don't tell nobody 'cause it's a secret... |
Under a formerly secret deal between Barack Obama and Libyan rebel leaders, Abdelbaset Al Megrahi would be killed detained by opposition troops and then his severed head would be handed over to US Special Forces.
Senior Democratic Congressional sources in Washington have disclosed to The Mail on Sunday that President Obama has told the Libyan rebels through intermediaries that a condition of continued support from the US is that they must hand over Megrahi if they enter Tripoli.
| I'm betting we have this arrangement for any number of Qadaffi's people, people who know stuff that we want to know, or who are just downright evil and need to be whacked. We really don't need the details splashed all over the world press, either... |
The mission would involve Megrahi being flown to a neutral Arab country by US Special Forces once he is handed over by the rebels, and then on to America to face trial. British SAS soldiers are unlikely to be directly involved in the operation.
| Since it would be embarrassing as all hell for them... |
Megrahi, 59, a former Libyan intelligence officer, was convicted in 2001 of the bombing of Pan Am Flight 103 over Lockerbie, which killed 270 people in 1988.
He was freed from a life sentence on supposedly compassionate grounds by the Scottish Government in August 2009 and flown to Libya after foolish conniving doctors said he had terminal prostate cancer and supposedly had only three months to live.
At a White House meeting with David Cameron last summer, President Obama described the release of Megrahi as 'heartbreaking', adding: 'I think all of us here were surprised, disappointed and angry about the release of the Lockerbie bomber.' |
