A tale of three atrocities Technology Research in Socorro, New Mexico calculated that thirty pounds of explosives was needed to destroy a plane the size of a Boeing 747 if the bomb was in the hold 36 lThe second explosion Many years after Lockerbie, I decided to settle down and read the AAIB's report of the Lockerbie bombing again. Within it, I found some extraordinary claims. For example, it goes out of its way to deny the possibility of a second explosion. According to the last line of Appendix F-4, “No evidence was seen to suggest that more than one IED had detonated on Flight PA103”. Why deny the possibility of a second IED? It also, tellingly, never mentions the words 'suitcase' nor 'radio-cassette'! After all, the AAIB didn't bother to discount alien involvement! There's a little anecdote here. A stranger once invited himself – we had no security - to a joint UTA and Lockerbie families meeting at the Russell Hotel, London and followed me when I popped out to the toilet. He said: “But what about the UFOs?” I said: “If you believe that, you'll believe anything.” Unfortunately, he ran out into the night before I could ask whether the UFO incident was a presage to the invasion of Earth – starting in Lockerbie – or was simply an unfortunate traffic accident between a UFO and a Boeing 747. Only one person to date has challenged the AAIB about why they actively denied the existence of a second IED. Mr John Parks, an explosives expert, who volunteered to help after the Lockerbie bombing, is sceptical about the official account of the blast. In correspondence I have seen, he says "There is overwhelming evidence to indicate that a minimum of two high explosive events took place inboard Pan Am 103." Such a conclusion, if it can be maintained, would destroy any case against Mr Megrahi. The AAIB report is a wonderful confection – it disguises more than it discusses. So it never says there wasn't a second bomb on the plane. Instead, it merely states that, if there was more than one bomb, this bomb was not an IED. So I realised I agreed with Parks in part - there must be a second, different type of explosion from another source. This is an entirely original reinterpretation of the official reports – my style of working means I often snap up unconsidered trifles – but initially the idea seemed quite improbable. So I began to look for the damage the second bomb must have caused. When the Lockerbie debris was gathered up after the disaster, parts of the recovered aircraft were taken to the AAIB headquarters at Farnborough Airfield in Hampshire. There a carefully selected section of the fuselage from the Boeing 747 was pieced back together. Also, within the AAIB's report of the Lockerbie disaster, there is a diagram illustrating how the whole of the fuselage of Flight 103 was painstakingly reconstructed. This diagram shows huge pieces of the Boeing 747's body missing from two locations (see figure showing white hole in rear and front of plane). The first is above the location of the IED next to baggage container AVE4041 PA near the front of the plane. This fuselage skin isn't missing because the search team failed to recover the wreckage from the ground. Rather, it is characteristic of a brisant explosion where the skin was melted. Parks goes into this at length. Brisant explosions are created by some modern high explosives which, when they explode, quickly create a hot fireball, at a temperature of 2000 o C.

A tale of three atrocities immediate vicinity, including detonator circuits, detonators, and anything as flimsy as fuselage skin. 37 . If the fuselage skin was melted by a fireball, of course, neither the alleged fragment of recovered Toshiba circuit board, nor the clothing or Toshiba manual presented in evidence at Megrahi's trial could have survived the explosion. This explains why the Lockerbie detonator was never found and means all this evidence must have been planted. There is a second area where fuselage skin is missing too. This is near the rear of the plane next to a luggage storage area under the passenger compartment. This luggage compartment was accessed through a special hatch created as part of the US Civil Reserve Air Fleet (CRAF) programme. Under CRAF, older Boeing 747 planes were modified to carry military freight containers in case of national emergency. When I saw this second missing section of fuselage skin, I could draw no conclusion other than that there was a second explosion at this location. One possible logical cause would be military material, but I believe the device was actually a 'insurance' bomb, designed to ensure the aircraft was destroyed, being carried in the CRAF compartment at the time of the bombing. And, if there was a second independent explosion, Megrahi cannot be guilty. There is even more good evidence of two separate explosions in the AAIB report. According to that document, Flight 103 disintegrated into two debris trails. The southern debris trail was produced when the IED went off and the plane began to disintegrate. The northern trail over Lockerbie was produced 19.5 seconds later when the aircraft suddenly plunged from 19,000 to 9,000 ft. The AAIB report does not explain why the plane stopped gliding several seconds after the initial explosion and began to rapidly lose height. Nor was this dive mentioned in the official Lockerbie report. This plunge must have occurred when the second blast went off. That 19.5 seconds was immensely suspicious, because if munitions had accidentally been exploded by the force of the IED blast, the second explosion would have occurred almost immediately after the first. So it was no accident – the second blast was deliberately triggered. I now believe the cause of the additional blast was a CIA 'insurance bomb'. Its purpose was to guarantee no one survived the bombing, ensuring the Iranians would be completely satisfied with the operation, and the Qesas condition fulfilled. It would be easy for CIA operatives to attach a detonator to explosive material on the flight, or introduced a package bomb. In fact the insurance bomb was not necessary. The effect of the IED alone would have been enough to destroy the aircraft, as the whole of the forward nose cone was torn off and landed at Tundergarth. But I think the damage model the CIA used was that of TWA840 of 2nd April 1986, where a device had punctured a hole in the side of that aircraft, but it remained flyable. Only five lives were lost. The CIA did not want a miraculous survival of most of the passengers, as the agreement with the Iranians called for deaths, so they had to introduce a second package bomb. 168 people died in the front – they were killed by the Iranian's IED. 91 died in the rear of the plane. They were jointly killed by the CIA package bomb and the Iranian IED. 11 died on the ground. They were killed by the CIA's package bomb, because if that had not gone off the aircraft would have continued its steep glide into the hills north of Lockerbie, rural countryside. To conceal the existence of the CIA device, the bombs needed to trigger around the same time. However, they were in different locations on the plane. So the insurance bomb had to be triggered manually. There would have been a CIA agent on the ground where he could receive a clear radar 37 Notes of a video made by me from a video interview with John Parks. Notes made 6/10/09 21
