A tale of three atrocities<br />

immediate vicinity, including detonator circuits, detonators, and anything as flimsy as fuselage skin. 37 .<br />

If the fuselage skin was melted by a fireball, of course, neither the alleged fragment of recovered<br />

Toshiba circuit board, nor the clothing or Toshiba manual presented in evidence at Megrahi's trial could<br />

have survived the explosion. This explains why the <strong>Lockerbie</strong> detonator was never found and means all<br />

this evidence must have been planted.<br />

<strong>The</strong>re is a second area where fuselage skin is missing too. This is near the rear of the plane next to a<br />

luggage storage area under the passenger compartment. This luggage compartment was accessed<br />

through a special hatch created as part of the US Civil Reserve Air Fleet (CRAF) programme. Under<br />

CRAF, older Boeing 747 planes were modified to carry military freight containers in case of national<br />

emergency.<br />

When I saw this second missing section of fuselage skin, I could draw no conclusion other than that<br />

there was a second explosion at this location. One possible logical cause would be military material,<br />

but I believe the device was actually a 'insurance' bomb, designed to ensure the aircraft was<br />

destroyed, being carried in the CRAF compartment at the time of the bombing. And, if there was a<br />

second independent explosion, Megrahi cannot be guilty.<br />

<strong>The</strong>re is even more good evidence of two separate explosions in the AAIB report. According to that<br />

document, Flight 103 disintegrated into two debris trails. <strong>The</strong> southern debris trail was produced when<br />

the IED went off and the plane began to disintegrate. <strong>The</strong> northern trail over <strong>Lockerbie</strong> was produced<br />

19.5 seconds later when the aircraft suddenly plunged from 19,000 to 9,000 ft. <strong>The</strong> AAIB report does<br />

not explain why the plane stopped gliding several seconds after the initial explosion and began to<br />

rapidly lose height. Nor was this dive mentioned in the official <strong>Lockerbie</strong> report. This plunge must have<br />

occurred when the second blast went off.<br />

That 19.5 seconds was immensely suspicious, because if munitions had accidentally been exploded by<br />

the force of the IED blast, the second explosion would have occurred almost immediately after the first.<br />

So it was no accident – the second blast was deliberately triggered. I now believe the cause of the<br />

additional blast was a CIA 'insurance bomb'. Its purpose was to guarantee no one survived the<br />

bombing, ensuring the Iranians would be completely satisfied with the operation, and the Qesas<br />

condition fulfilled. It would be easy for CIA operatives to attach a detonator to explosive material on the<br />

flight, or introduced a package bomb.<br />

In fact the insurance bomb was not necessary. <strong>The</strong> effect of the IED alone would have been enough to<br />

destroy the aircraft, as the whole of the forward nose cone was torn off and landed at Tundergarth. But<br />

I think the damage model the CIA used was that of TWA840 of 2nd April 1986, where a device had<br />

punctured a hole in the side of that aircraft, but it remained flyable. Only five lives were lost. <strong>The</strong> CIA<br />

did not want a miraculous survival of most of the passengers, as the agreement with the Iranians called<br />

for deaths, so they had to introduce a second package bomb. 168 people died in the front – they were<br />

killed by the Iranian's IED. 91 died in the rear of the plane. <strong>The</strong>y were jointly killed by the CIA package<br />

bomb and the Iranian IED. 11 died on the ground. <strong>The</strong>y were killed by the CIA's package bomb,<br />

because if that had not gone off the aircraft would have continued its steep glide into the hills north of<br />

<strong>Lockerbie</strong>, rural countryside.<br />

To conceal the existence of the CIA device, the bombs needed to trigger around the same time.<br />

However, they were in different locations on the plane. So the insurance bomb had to be triggered<br />

manually. <strong>The</strong>re would have been a CIA agent on the ground where he could receive a clear radar<br />
