The truth behind Lockerbie Bombing

Hi everyone! So, here I am again to put in my inputs on BREAKING news on all news channels across the world. But before I go on, I would plead Mr. SRK to try not to bring a bad name to my country anymore. See this video to know more. If he does not like being frisked, I suggest him avoiding USA rather than calling media and saying “Its not a big deal”.

The news I am talking about is doing the rounds all over since a week but Indian newspapers will bring it up today only. The story goes back to December 1988, when a plane crashed mid air on its way to US from England killing 270 people. It is considered to be the worst ever terrorist activity on England’s soil till date in which the prime targets were 189 American citizens.

The mishap took place in the skies of a small town called Lockerbie in Scotland, hence the name Lockerbie Bombing. The accusation for the bombing fell upon a Libyan intelligence officer named Abdelbaset Ali Mohmed Al Megrahi and Al Amin Khalifa Fhimah, former station manager for Libyan Arab Airlines. While the later was found not guilty and acquitted, Megrahi was sentenced to life imprisonment in 2001.

Now, what actually seemed to happen was this. US of A, taking its responsibility as the Big Brother of the weaker nations, was trying to establish its base in Libya in 70s and 80s owing to its oil reserves. The Libyans didn’t relent and had to face a series of military confrontations which led to killings of hundreds of innocent Libyans. As the investigations began after the crash, the Libya was considered to have played a major role in it. So, US and UN as always put sanctions on Libya and isolated it from the rest of the world.

Libya, unlike Cuba, had to relent this time and in 2003 accepted its role in the bombing. This brought the two nations, USA and Libya close and enough opportunity for US to exploits Libya’s oil resources.

Suffering from terminal prostate cancer, with less than three months to live, Megrahi was freed on compassionate grounds by the Scottish Government on 20 August 2009. But, many people in Britain believe that he is innocent as lately a main witness while dying admitted that he lied in the court and that he was offered money to do so. Another very important witness testified against Megrahi which too seems to be a distorted statement.

There seem to be only three scenarios in this:

· USA, in its yearn for Libya’s oil resources, plotted the bombing

· Some terrorist organisation of Libya is to be blamed to carry out the attack as a mode of revenge against brutalities by US Military

· Third party terrorist outfit carrying out the bombing, again to take the revenge against USA

In any of these scenarios, two things are firm and clear, Megrahi has been made a scapegoat and the other is that USA, for the sake of power and glory, has been doing inhuman activities all over and creating many more terrorists as days pass.

As expected, the Indian media too published the one sided story.

Though the deductions are on my own, I have referred to this link for the details.
