Boro4lifejd - the Scots taught the world a lesson in justice and humanity.  Learn from it.

@NWOConspiracyGroup Search "Petition 1370" for the Truth about Lockerbie. Megrahi WAS NOT EVEN ON MALTA the day the Lockerbie bombing suspect was identified. The CIA paid "witnesses $Millions TO LIE. Search Victor Ostrovsky's book THE OTHER SIDE OF DECEPTION for the Truth about the Berlin Disco. Bombing.

@saps1977 Yes, the "trial" of Megrahi, who WAS NOT EVEN ON THE ISLAND OF MALTA the day the Lockerbie Bombing Suspect was identified, had NO JURY, NO DUE PROCESS, & the CIA paid "witnesses" millions to LIE. That is why the top legal scholars in Scotland supported Petition 1370. Youtube search "Petition 1370"

When all this was going I was a baby so I was unaware of all this until I got older and my mother told me about it.

So much destruction and tragedy. And to think this all happened a few days b4 Christmas, and a few months after the Seoul Olympics? What a tragic way to end the year. I can only imagine what a sad Christmas a lot of families must have had back then.

@harrychown1989 what are you going on about

[harrychown1989]

The Scots loved this. If the plane had crashed 10 miles further south or about 2 minutes sooner, this would have been a British disaster, instead it became Scottish who jumped on a bit of world publicity. If it crashed 10 miles further south in England, you wouldn't have heard a mention of the name "England" at all.
