I heard that even the UN think he's innocent - what's the deal with that? This should be in the voice, if there hasn't been anything about it already.

I could have put in some more stuff, but it was getting long as it is! There is plenty of more stuff available on Lockerbie by Paul Foot, Tam Dalyell etc. I don't know if you've heard rumours or friend of a friend stories about Lockerbie, but theres also reports that massive quanitites of heroin was found in the wreckage. Some people (including Pan Ams investigation) have argued that the bomb was hidden in a drugs shipment, that was kept out of normal security procedures as part of a drugs for hostages deal with Iran. Allegedly the CIA was letting Iran sell drugs into the US to secure the release of American hostages, and the bomb was protected from security by keeping it with the drug shipment. Several US intelligence agents were on Pan Am 103 and died with the rest of the crew and passengers as well. I'd take that theory with a pinch of salt though, cos it may just be Pan Am making up bullshit to avoid being bankrupted for failing to detect a bomb. I don't think the UN formally believes Megrahi is innocent but the UN did have a mission at the Lockerbie Trial led by a guy called Hans Koechler, who believes Megrahi is innocent and the verdict was a frame up. http://www.independent.co.uk/opinion/commentators/hans-kchler-i-saw-the-trial-ndash-and-the-verdict-made-no-sense-1775217.html Hi, glad you enjoyed the article.
