Fallout from Lockerbie has begun reveal one of the ugliest political corruptions of recent times. This Byzantine tale is further evidence of just how powerful and ruthless the American-led international security apparatus -- the octopus' -- has become.

... www.lobster-magazine.co.uk (Issue 28) December 1994 Last | Contents | Next Issue 28 In Brief The Libyan connection Putting Libya in the frame has been orchestrated from Langley by Vincent Canestraro, head of the CIA counter-terrorist section. In his book On The Trail of Terror: the inside story of the Lockerbie bombing, published in October 1991, David Leppard tells us this while completing one of the most amazing somersaults in investigative history. Let one example suffice: his own prime suspect throughout his Sunday Times series in 1989, Abu Talb, gets a first mention on page 174. Turning his back on his excellent earlier work on this case ...

Another large chunk is about the forensic examination of the explosion and the attempt to determine where the bomb was placed in the cargo hold. I found much of this boring and some difficult to follow: it needs studying, note-taking. This made me feel the way I did as a JFK assassination beginner encountering the more arcane end of the research, such as the autopsy evidence ...
