Peter Smith The killing of WPC Yvonne Fletcher in public view and for no apparent reason remains one of the most notorious murders of recent decades. For sixteen years there have been few signs of any serious attempts to locate and bring to justice the perpetrator of this outrage. Finally, this April, in an outstanding piece of investigative journalism, a re-examination of the pathological and ballistical evidence strongly contests the official version of that tragic event in St James's Sq.(1) Why would the Libyans do it? There ...

The media reporting of this accepted the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) spin that it meant the Libyans have admitted killing Fletcher. The Daily Mail for example, headlined their piece 'Libya finally takes blame 15 years after Yvonne died'. No one seems to have asked the obvious question: what does 'general responsibility' amount to? The reality ...

... told, which, according to David Shayler, was paid by MI6 to try to assassinate Colonel Gaddafy. But this was back in the days when Gaddafy was 'the mad dictator', some time funder of the IRA and head of the regime which organised the Lockerbie bombing. But the great engine of state trundles on and things change. Libya 'accepted responsibility' for the Lockerbie bombing (while continuing to deny that they had done it), offered compensation to the victims' families, gave up their nuclear ambitions (whatever that amounted to), to emerge, born again, free of sanctions, as a responsible, respectable member of the international community, bla bla bla ...

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- I am indebted to him ...

ISBN 1-887314-01-6 Chasey was the foreign agent 4221, that is a lobbyist registered with the US Department of Justice, who took a PR contract from the government of Libya to try and help normalise relations with the U.S. after the Lockerbie bombing and the subsequent scapegoating of Libya. (The rationality of this project is not discussed by Mr Chasey.) This is the story of his attempts to earn his vast fee, their consequences for him, and his dawning realisation that his government was the bad ...

Several weeks into the investigation, Essam and Amin examined the records held by a company called Deepsea Freight Services. It is here that Amin discovered records of key components in the manufacture of centrifuges being transhipped (to avoid export controls) to Libya. The consignee for some of these shipments was none other than Desert Electrical, which Amin had been warned off earlier. The cover-up begins It was at this point that the thwarting of Amin's investigation began in earnest.

Two other articles on American parapolitics are reprinted from American publications- on Vernon Walters from Covert Action Information Bulletin, and on John Singlaub from National Reporter (formerly Counterspy). Perhaps the most interesting article is "Gunning for Libya- anti-Libyan operations in West Berlin" by Peter Niggl. Niggl investigates Mossad involvement in assassinations of Libyan officials and in operations designed to ensure that terrorism remains on the front page of the Western media, thus souring Arab-European relations. He refers specifically to operations aimed at incriminating Syria and Libya in terrorist activities, such as the case of ...
