B.P.1.


He will die from cancer...........
Anyway it all seems slightly premature.. Gaddafi on the run ( maybe yes - then maybe no )

If Libya is in the hands of the rebels - then who fired the Scud missiles ?


Saif al Islam running about Tripoli, certainly casts doubt on the accuracy of the sensational reports ( never believe
everything )
If the British Authorities capture Megrahi - does that represent an English slap in the face for Scotland ?

£1 Million - wanted dead or alive for Gaddafi, how utterly barbaric.

Although Megrahi will have symbolic significance to those personally affected by the Lockerbie bombing, in the wider scheme of things in Libya, he has become a red herring, and must now be living on borrowed time. It is also highly appropriate if the £1,000,000 alive or dead is barbaric, as that is exactly the word to describe the way Gaddafi operated over the last 42+ years.

Beloved, never avenge yourselves, but leave it to the wrath of God, for it is written, “Vengeance is mine, I will repay, says the Lord.” 20 To the contrary, “if your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him something to drink; for by so doing you will heap burning coals on his head.” 21 Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

So I guess those that seek to deny a dying man his medication - are neither Christian in spirit - nor Christian in deed.
It seems that way.......... :oops:

I truly wish it was as clear cut as that........... Particularly when you consider pre - Gaddafi Libya, juxtaposed with all the advancements, that he undoubtedly brought to Libya. Call me auld fashioned, but when I see Arabs kissing the Stars and Stripes, I suspect mischief afoot. :D

Just been reading that Scottish prosecutors have formally asked Libya's interim government to help uncover fresh evidence and witnesses in the Lockerbie bombing case.
I do not think they will have any success considering that the interim government has already refused to hand over the suspect in the murder of P.C. Yvonne Fletcher.Though they have said if he is found he will be put on trial in Lybia.

Don't like to keep repeating myself ,but what happened to Megrahi's statement that he would name the guilty party before he died . According to his family he has not long to go ,cutting it fine ,but then two years ago he didn't have long to go.There will never be justice for the victims of Lockerbie or the murder of W.P.C Fletcher . No matter who is in power in Libya they will never divulge the truth.

Looks like you are right bbno.1, Libya's interim justice minister Mohammed al-Alagi, responding to news of the request, told a press conference: "The case is closed."
