Did The FBI Try To 'Buy' Evidence In The Lockerbie Trial?
by KJ Mullins.
Did the FBI try to bribe witnesses in the Lockerbie case? One witness is making that claim. Edwin Bollier, head of MEBO claims that the FBI wanted him to testify that Libya was responsible for the bombing.
Bollier's Swiss company has been named as the manufacturer of the timer used to detonate the Pam Am bomb that killed 270 people.
According to Bollier he was offered a new life in the United States if he testified that the timer had been supplied to Libya.
This starling revelation was told to Dr Hans Koechler. Koechler was a UN observer during the trial of Abdelbaset Ali Mohmed al-Megrahi in the Netherlands.
"I rejected this and said this could not possibly be the case," he said. He added that there was a "loud dispute" after he rejected the offer.
This news follows a claim by
Tony Gauci that he was offered $2 million dollars by the CIA to say that the clothes that were wrapped around the explosive device were sold to Libyans.
Gauici is a Maltese shop owner whose evidence lead to the conviction of Megrahi.
