The Truth about Lockerbie - MartinFrost.ws

A tale of three atrocities
About four or five years ago, I started wondering how the CIA managed to find that suitcase on the
hillside, why they cut a hole into the side and why the CIA personnel died. Around the same time, I
became sceptical about the existence of the Samsonite suitcase Megrahi supposedly put onto Flight
103.
The explanation came to me very quickly indeed. Poor McKee was killed by his colleagues 52 . Unknown
to him, his last duty was to help them locate baggage container AVE4041 PA among the debris, by
using the transpondered suitcase he was carrying. He must have suspected his life was in danger
because he called his mother before joining the flight, and asked her to meet him at Pittsburgh airport.
“This was the first time Chuck ever telephoned me from Beirut,” she said. “I was flabbergasted. It's a
surprise. Always before he would wait until he was back in Virginia to call and say he was coming
home.” 53
McKee was travelling in first class and, before joining the flight, I believe he must have checked a
suitcase containing a radio transponder onto Flight 103. Transpondered suitcases must have a basis in
fact since they appear frequently in fiction, for example in recent film No Country for Old Men 54 .
The transpondered suitcase must have ended up in baggage container AVE4041 PA, which contained
all the Interline baggage from feeder flight 103A. AVE4041 PA also contained all the first-class baggage
and, therefore, was arranged in the aircraft hold so it was first off the flight in New York. It was also, of
course, the location of the bomb planted by the Iranian with the CIA's blessing.
Once the CIA had used McKee's suitcase transponder to locate it, it must have been easy to determine
which baggage container was AVE4041 PA. They must have stolen McKee's suitcase, cut a hole in it
and removed the transponder so it didn't attract undesirable attention from the Scottish investigation
team. After a strange journey, which Mr Johnston recounts, the item of baggage was taken to the
temporary headquarters of the Lockerbie inquiry, and then back to Carruthers Farm, where it had been
found. As it had been interfered with, the local police refused to have anything to do with it, so it was
"discovered" by a team of British Transport Police. The extraordinary story is told in Johnston's book on
pages 72-73 55 .
An independently minded Independent Radio News journalist, he was called on by the police to reveal
his sources and when he refused to do so, he was made a strange offer. He would be allowed to meet
anyone he wished, including Mrs Thatcher. He agreed to check back with his sources and when he did
and refused further co-operation, he was threatened with being judicially 'precognosed', or preliminarily
examined as a witness. Even after this, Johnston reported that at a briefing of officers by two of the
Lockerbie Investigation team and two from the CIA, one of the CIA officers had interrupted the briefing
to say the plan for the day's work included "replacing Mr McKee's suitcase where it had been found" 56 .
In the remains of AVE4041 PA, the CIA placed a pre-blown suitcase, the remains of a Toshiba cassette
recorder and various miscellaneous items. They hoped that, when the Lockerbie investigation team
found the suitcase, they would follow the concocted evidence to a suitable CIA selected target, which
would become Libya.
lPlanting the circuit board
A fragment of MST-13 timer chip, similar to that carried by a Libyan intelligence officer, was vital
evidence in Megrahi's trial. The police supposedly found it embedded in a piece of cloth in
Newcastleton forest on 13 th January 1989.
