The Independent is reporting today on an Al-Jazeera documentary that adds to the already substantial, long-standing evidence suggesting that the PFLP-GC, not Libya, was responsible for the Lockerbie bombing. Craig Murray confirms on his blog that this info matches information in a secret report he saw at the time of the 1st Gulf War. Regardless of the value of all this evidence, it is absolutely clear that Megrahis conviction was unfair and politically motivated. What to do? Heres what I said in December. It still works today: The Scottish Government says that it cannot set up an independent inquiry into the Lockerbie affair because that would involve looking into international issues that are beyond its power under the current constitutional arrangements. Scotland urgently needs an inquiry to determine how the investigation, prosecution and conviction of Megrahi under Scottish jurisdiction went so badly wrong, and how we can ensure that nothing of the kind ever happens again. That lies well within the current powers of the Scottish government. richard-haley.co.uk/lockerbie-murder-scottish-justice/
