Megrahi was convicted of 'conspiracy' to murder. Who are the co-conspirators? What was the motivation behind the bombing? Who financed this act of terrorism? Who was ultimately responsible? How was it allowed to happen?" I confidently predict that when barrister Blair meets the Lockerbie families after Easter he will try to wriggle out of answering their very pertinent questions by dint of the following simple legal ploy: a. the PM will say that Megrahi was convicted on 31 January 2001 solely of 'murder'(not the charge of 'conspiracy to murder' nor 'contravening the aviation security acts' since these were inexplicably dropped by the prosecution in the final days of the trial at Kamp Zeist); b. therefore no co-conspirators; and, c. Megrahi's motives and sources of finance remain unknown. We are asked to believe that Libya has accepted full responsibility for the Lockerbie bombing whereas all it has admitted is a 'responsibility for the actions of its officials.' See and hear the audio clips at 0632, 0732 and 0832 on http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio4/today/listenagain/ztuesday_20040224.shtml. I have never believed that Libya was responsible for the sabotage of flight Pan Am 103. There is considerable evidence to inculpate the apartheid regime of P W Botha - see http://www.geocities.com/CapitolHill/5260/haseldine.html. But I guess that any prosecution will have to await the outcome of Megrahi's application to the Scottish Criminal Cases Review Commission which could conceivably overturn his conviction for the Lockerbie bombing.
