Information On The Lockerbie Conspiracy Theories

lockerbie conspiracyOn December 21, 1988, Pan American Flight 103 was destroyed by a bomb. All 243 passengers and 16 crew members plus 11 people in Lockerbie, Scotland were killed. The Guardians of the Islamic Revolution and the Islamic Jihad Organization claimed separately that they had planted the bomb. However, Lockerbie conspiracy theories were rampant. In 2011, Libya formally admitted responsibility for the bombing.

Iran was a prime suspect with the most obvious motive of revenge. Five months prior to Flight 103, a US warship had shot down an Iranian civilian aircraft. The theory was that Iran had paid the Liberation of Palestine General Command to carry out the bombing. However, the group denied being involved.

Abu Nidal, a Palestinian terrorist, claimed that he was behind the bombing. Telling only his aides, he then swore them to secrecy. After his death in 2002, the information was released to a newspaper by one of those aides but the aide was unable to provide any evidence or say who had engaged Nidal to perform the act.

South Africa has also been said to have arranged the attack in order to assassinate a UN Commissioner for Namibia. The basis for the theory is that senior South African officials, including their Foreign Minister, cancelled their reservations because they had been tipped off. Bernt Carlsson, the Namibia UN Commissioner did die on the flight.

The CIA is also suspected. The suspicion is based on two US intelligence officials on the flight, who were returning to the US to raise concerns over a drug smuggling route from Europe to American in return for information on militant groups. The mother of one of the deceased agents stated that in her last conversation with her son, his superiors did not know he was flying back to the US.

Now, in 2011 a former Libyan foreign minister admitted that Libya was indeed involved in the Lockerbie bombing but did not believe it was a strictly Libyan operation. In addition, the Libyan government formally took responsibility for the bombing and has pledged compensation to the families of the 270 victims.

  2. C.I.A. Closes Unit Focused on Capture of bin Laden

    The Central Intelligence Agency has closed a unit that for a decade had the mission of hunting Osama bin Laden and his top lieutenants, intelligence officials confirmed Monday.

    The unit, known as Alec Station, was disbanded late last year and its analysts reassigned within the C.I.A. Counterterrorist Center, the officials said.

    The decision is a milestone for the agency, which formed the unit before Osama bin Laden became a household name and bolstered its ranks after the Sept. 11 attacks, when President Bush pledged to bring Mr. bin Laden to justice “dead or alive.”]]>

  3. All fun aside; I promise you there is a direct correlation between how much people believe in conspiracy theories and how much dope they smoke.
    You mean that people who smoke dope might be more inclined to believe in conspiracy theories, right? Cause plenty of people believe in conspiracy theories who would never touch the stuff.

    Howard fails in ICC vice-president bid

    Peter English

    June 30, 2010

    The ICC has demanded another vice-presidency candidate after John Howard's nomination was rejected by its executive board in Singapore. A move which began with members from six countries signalling their intention to block the appointment on Tuesday turned into an official rejection of Australia's former prime minister today.

    The ICC confirmed the decision this afternoon following an executive meeting that was supposed to formalise Howard's election. No vote was taken and Cricket Australia and New Zealand Cricket were asked to re-nominate a candidate by August 31.

    The ICC said in a statement: “Following lengthy consideration it was recognised that the nomination put forward by Cricket Australia and New Zealand Cricket did not have sufficient support within the ICC board.”

    Cricket Australia's chairman Jack Clarke and his New Zealand Cricket counterpart Alan Isaac said in a joint statement they were “deeply disappointed” after supplying “the best possible candidate”. “We jointly nominated Mr Howard as he possesses significant leadership and administrative skills,” they said. “We believe cricket needs to continue to seek excellence and dispassionate independence in the game's global governance.

    “We were delighted that the most senior world figure ever considered for this role agreed to accept the nomination. We remain convinced it is reasonable for his nomination to be supported by the ICC executive board and we are deeply disappointed by the position taken.”

    Initial rumblings from Zimbabwe and South Africa in April became an all-conquering alliance when India signed up along with their subcontinent neighbours this week. It leaves the ICC without a deputy to be paraded alongside India's Sharad Pawar when he takes over the presidency from David Morgan this week.

    The position taken by the six board members on Tuesday night was believed to be an attempt to force Howard to withdraw his nomination before the meeting. Howard remained in the race but lost the one-man raffle at the Raffles convention centre, ending the 70-year-old's cricket administration career before it was allowed to begin.

    Seven votes were required to seal the deal but Australia, New Zealand and England were the only supporters of Howard before the meeting among the game's 10 major countries. The six members signed a letter on Tuesday effectively stopping the appointment, but Zimbabwe, the most strident back-room protestor of Howard's nomination, was not one of them.

    During Howard's 11-year term as prime minister he was critical of Robert Mugabe's regime and was responsible for banning the team from touring the country in 2007. Howard visited Zimbabwe cricket officials last week in an unsuccessful effort to smooth relations with the board. Once India turned from Howard there was no chance of him gaining enough support, with Pakistan, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh believed to have sided with their all-powerful neighbour.

    Howard was the joint nomination of Cricket Australia and New Zealand Cricket for the role as part of the rotational system employed by the ICC. Under the regulations, Howard would have assumed the presidency in 2012 after Pawar's two-year term.

    While the two countries have remained committed to Howard, his selection was complicated by New Zealand's wish to choose Sir John Anderson, its long-term respected administrator. An independent committee was charged with breaking the deadlock and once Howard emerged as the winner the boards were publicly united. However, the delay provided fuel for the opponents to question whether New Zealand had been out-muscled by Australia.

    Confirmation of Howard's role – he was nominated in March – was expected in April, but Zimbabwe raised their concerns through South African officials outside an ICC meeting in Dubai. The issue dragged on and Clarke and his chief executive James Sutherland were still lobbying for support over the past couple of days.

    Interesting enough, the way christianity formed was through ones who claimed to be Jews and were not. When Christianity was young, the Jews went to these fake synagogues and said “The sabbath is on the sunday not the saturday” and they believed them. This was so that the Jews who would travel would know that these were fake synagogues, and is a main reason to why Christian sabbath is on sunday

    ADEN:? A son of US-born al Qaeda cleric Anwar al-Awlaqi was among seven suspected militants killed in a trio of apparent US air strikes in Yemen, a member of his tribe said on Saturday. “Abderrahman Anwar al-Awlaqi was killed in the raid,” the tribal source told AFP, adding that he had received confirmation from the militant-controlled Yemeni hospital where the dead and wounded from Friday evening’s strikes were taken. Apart from Abderrahman, 21, the strikes also killed a cousin of Awlaqi and three other members of the Awlaqi tribe, the source said. He said that the other three included Sarhan al-Qussa’a, brother of Fahd al-Qussa’a, a leader of al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula he said was on a US wanted list. Awlaqi himself was killed in a US drone stike on September 30, which US President Barack Obama hailed as a “major blow” to al Qaeda worldwide. US intelligence officials believe that Anwar al-Awlaqi was linked to a US army major charged with shooting dead 13 people in Fort Hood,…

A move which began with members from six countries signalling their intention to block the appointment on Tuesday turned into an official rejection of Australia's former prime minister today.

    The ICC confirmed the decision this afternoon following an executive meeting that was supposed to formalise Howard's election. No vote was taken and Cricket Australia and New Zealand Cricket were asked to re-nominate a candidate by August 31.

    The ICC said in a statement: “Following lengthy consideration it was recognised that the nomination put forward by Cricket Australia and New Zealand Cricket did not have sufficient support within the ICC board.”

    Cricket Australia's chairman Jack Clarke and his New Zealand Cricket counterpart Alan Isaac said in a joint statement they were “deeply disappointed” after supplying “the best possible candidate”. “We jointly nominated Mr Howard as he possesses significant leadership and administrative skills,” they said. “We believe cricket needs to continue to seek excellence and dispassionate independence in the game's global governance.

    “We were delighted that the most senior world figure ever considered for this role agreed to accept the nomination. We remain convinced it is reasonable for his nomination to be supported by the ICC executive board and we are deeply disappointed by the position taken.”

    Initial rumblings from Zimbabwe and South Africa in April became an all-conquering alliance when India signed up along with their subcontinent neighbours this week. It leaves the ICC without a deputy to be paraded alongside India's Sharad Pawar when he takes over the presidency from David Morgan this week.

    The position taken by the six board members on Tuesday night was believed to be an attempt to force Howard to withdraw his nomination before the meeting. Howard remained in the race but lost the one-man raffle at the Raffles convention centre, ending the 70-year-old's cricket administration career before it was allowed to begin.

    Seven votes were required to seal the deal but Australia, New Zealand and England were the only supporters of Howard before the meeting among the game's 10 major countries. The six members signed a letter on Tuesday effectively stopping the appointment, but Zimbabwe, the most strident back-room protestor of Howard's nomination, was not one of them.

    During Howard's 11-year term as prime minister he was critical of Robert Mugabe's regime and was responsible for banning the team from touring the country in 2007. Howard visited Zimbabwe cricket officials last week in an unsuccessful effort to smooth relations with the board. Once India turned from Howard there was no chance of him gaining enough support, with Pakistan, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh believed to have sided with their all-powerful neighbour.

    Howard was the joint nomination of Cricket Australia and New Zealand Cricket for the role as part of the rotational system employed by the ICC. Under the regulations, Howard would have assumed the presidency in 2012 after Pawar's two-year term.

    While the two countries have remained committed to Howard, his selection was complicated by New Zealand's wish to choose Sir John Anderson, its long-term respected administrator. An independent committee was charged with breaking the deadlock and once Howard emerged as the winner the boards were publicly united. However, the delay provided fuel for the opponents to question whether New Zealand had been out-muscled by Australia.

    Confirmation of Howard's role – he was nominated in March – was expected in April, but Zimbabwe raised their concerns through South African officials outside an ICC meeting in Dubai. The issue dragged on and Clarke and his chief executive James Sutherland were still lobbying for support over the past couple of days.

    麦克维此前不为人知,而国务院和财政部有“法定”的恐怖组织名单,这两种情况不一样。如果按你的标准,恐怖活动和一般犯罪没区别,那么美国只能要求塔利班移交本拉登,它不交就毫无办法?还有里根为了Abu Nidal在柏林的袭击而轰炸利比亚也是违宪了?

We are led to beleive a boeing 757 whose pilot Hani Hanjour who was said by his flight instructor,couldn't learn the flight controls and was at best shoddy pilot maneuvered a boeing 757 into a spiral dive losing 7000ft&turning 270' in 2.5min into the 1st.wedge close to ground into pentagon.

    Since you seem to think that America can't maintain an empire overseas how exactly are we being imperialistic? All states within the U.S are willing members of the union.
    Why don't you share where u live? Your either a left wing ingrate of a U.S citizen or your own country is just as bad or worse im sure. Nobody can play high and mighty because at some point every nation has moments their not proud of.

  57. India is not going to vote against because, it is BCCI’s Pawar, who will take over as president in June 2010, backed the process that threw up Howard as a candidate so neither Australia nor, England or even the West Indies (because of being a common wealth country) will oppose his nomination. So, Butt is left alone and he cannot take this important decision without the Pakistan’s government approval, if he does then Butt would be on Surgeon Asif Ali Zardari’s table for a colonoscopy. “”
