‘I’LL REVEAL TRUE IDENTITY OF BOMBER’
AN AMERICAN citizen is to be named by the Lockerbie bomber as the man who really carried out the terrorist attack on Pan Am Flight 103.
Lawyers for the bomber were to argue that an elusive terrorist codenamed Abu Elias planted the bomb in December 1988, causing the deaths of 270 innocent people.
Megrahi is now expected to identify the man behind this alias.
The Scottish Sunday Express tracked this man down to his home in the US, and he strongly denied having anything to do with the atrocity.
However, we can reveal that he has connections to at least two international terrorists and a Palestinian terror group, as well as links to the US intelligence services.
The man, who works as a schools engineer for the US government, was to become the central figure in Megrahis aborted appeal.
Elias, a commander in a Palestinian terror organisation, was identified as the CIAs primary Lockerbie suspect but was never caught.

Sources close to Megrahi believe he may actually have been a double agent working for the FBI or the CIA.
Last night the man, who we have chosen not to name, said: Sorry, I dont think that I can help in this case. It is a clear case of either mistaken identity and/or fabrication.
I dont wish my name to be mentioned in any capacity in the press. I am sure you understand the sensitivity of this matter since I have a family and children.
However, Christine Grahame MSP, who visited Megrahi in Greenock prison and campaigned for his release, is believed to be considering naming the man in the Scottish Parliament chamber.
![]() | SEARCH UK NEWS for: |
She said: It is apparent that US intelligence has known or must have known the primary suspect of the Lockerbie bombing was alive and living safely in Washington.
There has been a suggestion made that he is in some way an intelligence asset for the US and that is why he has been allowed to live in peace.
He must be deeply relieved that Megrahi was forced to drop his appeal and that he will never face justice for this atrocity.
Yesterday, Megrahi promised that before he dies he will present new evidence gathered for the appeal which will exonerate him. He said he will call on the British and Scottish people to be the jury.
The man Megrahi believes was Abu Elias now lives in a suburban neighbourhood near Washingtons Dulles airport, just a few miles from the White House and the Lockerbie memorial at Arlington National Cemetery. He even has his own Facebook social network page.
He is the nephew of Syrian terror warlord Ahmed Jibril, the founder of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine General Command (PFLP-GC).
Jibril was allegedly paid $10million by Iran to bomb an American passenger jet in retaliation for the US Navy accidentally shooting down an Iranian plane earlier in 1988, killing all 298 pilgrims on board.
The man is also related to Nezar Hindawi, a Syrian currently serving a 45-year sentence in Whitemoor high-security prison in Cambridgeshire for plotting to blow up an Israeli jet flying from Heathrow to Tel Aviv in 1986.
A document submitted to the appeal court by Megrahis lawyers states: The FBI had apparently investigated X and knew he was the nephew of Ahmed Jibril.
X had met with FBI special agents [an appointment was in his diary for August 1988] but neither X nor the Department of Justice would disclose who the agents were or the precise purpose of the recorded meeting. X admitted the meeting had taken place. It is inconceivable that he did not produce his Syrian passport for examination. Only extracts from his US passport were revealed.
Once again, the hand of the US government appeared to be guiding matters behind the scenes.
Elias was also connected to Mohammed Abu Talb, an Egyptian named by Dumfries and Galloway Police as their chief suspect less than a year after the bombing. The true identity of Elias first came to light during a closed hearing at the Lockerbie trial in Holland in 2001, which led to Megrahis conviction.
However, the defence claim that attempts to investigate further were dismissed as a fishing exercise by the then Lord Advocate, Colin Boyd.
There is further evidence to link the PFLP-GC to the disaster, as first reported by the Scottish Sunday Express in 2004.
In October 1988, following a tip-off from the CIA, German police raided a PFLP-GC safe house in Neuss and discovered a bomb in a Toshiba cassette player, identical to the one which exploded on board Flight 103, as well as a Pan Am timetable.
Codenamed Autumn Leaves, the raid resulted in 16 arrests including that of cell leader Hafez Dalkamoni, later convicted for a bombing campaign on German railways, and Marwan Khreesat, a double agent for the Jordanian intelligence service.
Khreesat said in an interview with an FBI agent that he had been introduced to a man called Abu Elias, an explosives and airline security expert who had been giving orders.
Another member of the terror cell, Mobdi Goben, later disclosed Eliass true identity in a deathbed confession which became known as the Goben Memorandum during the Camp Zeist trial. Goben claimed Elias placed a bomb in the luggage of Khaled Jafar, a Lebanese/American from Detroit who died on board Pan Am Flight 103.
A source close to Megrahi said yesterday that Elias could have been spying for the Americans.
The source said: Not only was Abu Elias known to the Americans, but what if he was working for them? The guy comes into the US from the former Soviet Union, hes the nephew of Ahmed Jibril the Bin Laden of his day and he just strolls into the US?
I think they turned him, and I think he operated as a double agent.
Khreeshat said if they had waited one more day they would have got Elias in the Autumn Leaves raid.Goben says Elias put the bomb into Jafars case without his knowledge.
Abu Elias was a prime suspect. An American double agent was responsible for bringing down an American plane. How good a reason for a cover-up would that be?

Official Announcement: Condom to be new national symbol of Iceland
It much more accurately reflects the government's political stance. A condom allows for inflation, halts production, destroys the next generation, protects a bunch of pricks, and gives you a sense of security while you're actually being screwed!
Lifted off the internet.

Snjallir bloggarar
Bill Clinton reykti gras en andaði því ekki ofan í sig og Ernir drakk án þess að verða fullur. Þennan eitraða púnkt sá ég hjá einhverjum bloggara hérna og hef þegar notað hann með frábærum árangri í kjötheimunum. Bestu þakkir.
En þessar örvæntingarfullu uppákomur og ruglandi sem við höfum séð með sífellt vaxandi hraða síðustu misserin sýna króníska afneitun lygadrifinnar maskínu sem er á hraðri leið í þrot með sín ævintýri vegna þverrandi framboðs hálfvita sem taka raðlygara alvarlega. Þetta endar vafalaust með raunverulegum og mjög svo sársaukafullum ósköpum á endanum og varla hægt að búast við öðru í mafíudrifnu þjófa- og hóruræði einstaklega nátengds kerfis fjármálamógúla og pólitíkusa. Skál og amen og kúmen.

Guðný Helga Herbertsdóttir skrifar:
Íslensku bankarnir segjast ekki hafa upplýsingar um hverjir eru eigendur um sjötíu aflandsfélaga sem þeir stofnuðu sjálfir. Bankarnir hér á landi stofnuðu um tvö hundruð og fimmtíu félög í skattaparadísum.
Ríkisskattstjóri hefur undanfarið unnið að því að greina eignarhald á íslenskum fyrirtækjum og tengsl íslenskra aðila, einstaklinga sem fyrirtækja, við erlend félög í skattaskjólum. Félögin sem eru til skoðunar eru um 400 talsins.
Til þess að greina tengslin við Ísland hefur ríkisskattstjóri farið yfir opinberar skráningar hérlendis og erlendis, til að mynda hvort heimilisfang félaganna sé skráð hjá til dæmis erlendum dótturfélögum íslensku bankanna eða hvort íslenskir aðilar hafi komið að því að skrá erlendu félögin hér á landi vegna bankaviðskipta.
Samkvæmt heimildum fréttastofu stofnuðu íslensku bankarnir um 250 aflandsfélög. Íslensku bankarnir í Lúxemborg og lögmenn stofnuðu hin 150 sem eru til skoðunar.
Ríkisskattstjóri sendi fyrirspurn til umsýslu- og umboðsmanna aflandsfélaganna um hverjir væru raunverulegir eigendur þeirra. Engin svör bárust frá Lúxemborg en íslensku bankarnir hafa nú svarað fyrirspurninni þar sem fram kemur að engar upplýsingar finnist um eignarhald á um 70 félögum.
Með öðrum orðum bankarnir sem stofnuðu félög í skattaparadísum vita ekki hverjir eiga félögin.
Heimildir fréttastofu herma að Ríkisskattstjóri muni á næstunni fara yfir þau félög þar sem eignaraðild liggur fyrir og athuga hvort eigendurnir hafi gert grein fyrir erlendum eignum sínum með viðeigandi hætti.

Download a Copy of The Pirate Bay Before It’s Gone
In just a few days The Pirate Bay will be passed onto its new owners, marking the end of an era but not the end of BitTorrent. The nostalgic torrenters among us might want to download a copy of the site for archival purposes. It never hurts to have a backup of important data in place, especially when its free.
In common with music and movies, its not that hard to copy a website. It might take some serious server power to serve torrents to millions of people every day, but all the torrent files and site code dont take up that much space.
In fact, every TorrentFreak reader can easily store a backup of The Pirate Bay on his or her hard drive. Everyone can download it straight from The Pirate Bay, conveniently packed into a massive torrent amounting to 21.3 Gigabytes of data.
The anonymous uploader who compiled this huge torrent told TorrentFreak that he wanted to have a backup of the site in case all torrents mysteriously disappear after the site is sold. I suppose I want us to have assurances. If the TPB deal disappoints us, we can just put it up again, he said.
The backup includes a mockup site and all of the 873,671 torrent files hosted on The Pirate Bays servers. As the uploader also notes, not all of the 2 million torrents tracked by The Pirate Bay are hosted on the site itself.
With this backup everyone can have their own Pirate Bay up and running in a few minutes. The basic website supplied in the torrent is a working site, where you can browse the index. You just need a lot of hardware to run a database of this size at a decent speed. And thanks to openbittorrent.com, you dont even need a tracker, the uploader told us.
Those interested in grabbing a copy of the site have to be warned: patience is required. It might take a few days before the download completes with the seeders limited upload capacity, but good things come to those that wait.
