I personally have tried to correct the text for spelling mistakes and to make it more readable but I haven't deliberately interfered with the text.

I don't read that website ever but I do regularly google for Lockerbie information as I have other information that that convictiction was unjust and politically motivated. I'm not a 911er before you dismiss me out of hand. I'm not sure if this information is genuine, it isn't repeated on the websites I normally use for Lockerbie information, though I suspect it is true. It is certainly not in the mainstream UK media yet. If this information is true then it soon will be headline news. I am posting this as a lead not a story. Here is the last 'Lockerbie' post I posted here : http://www.indymedia.org.uk/en/regions/scotland/2007/06/374430.html
The following is an important email received today from Mr. Edwin Bollier where he informs the authorities and the public that an ex-employee of his company, MEBO TELECOMMUNICATIONS, has recently confessed in a signed affidavit (posted below) that he stole a MEBO timer, together with documentation and a circuit print, and passed these items over to Scottish police, thereby enabling them to complete a conspiracy to frame Libya as a responsible party in the bombing of Pan Am 103.

You will find two important documentaries. One by CBS "60 Minutes" and the other by Channel 4 "Dispatches". These two documentaries will explain in detail the identification discrepancies between the MST-13 timer fragment that was allegedly discovered in the Lockerbie debris field, and the commercially produced MST-13 timer circuit board sold to Libya. These discrepancies were ignored by the five Scottish judges during the Lockerbie trial.

AFFIDAVIT:
of Mr. Ulrich Lumpert, electronic engeneer, ex of employees at company MEBO Ltd Telecommunication
8004 Zurich / Switzerland, between 1978 to1994.
Ex a witness during the process 'Fhimah, Al Megrahi' (Lockerbie-case) 2000 in Kamp van Zeist NL. Personal data: Name: Ulrich Lumpert; Date of birth: 20 September 1942; Occupation: electronic engeneer; Residence:8122 Binz, Kt.Zurich / Switzerland
°°°
AFFIDAVIT:
The following facts, which correspond to the truth, were signed by Mr. Ulrich Lumpert on 18th July 2007.
1.> During the examination by the Bundespolizei (Federal Police) "BUPO" Switzerland, FBI and Scottish Police present in Zurich in 1991; and the examination of the Bundeskriminalamt (BKA) (Federal Bureau of Criminal Investigation) by Commissioner Fuhl in Konstanz / Germany 1991; as well as in the "Lockerbie Trial" in Kamp van Zeist 2000.
I had testified as witness No.550 and stated in the record, that of the 3 pieces of hand-made prototypes MST-13 Timer PC-Boards the third MST-13 PC-Board was broken and I had thrown it away.
I built two functioning MST-13 Timers with the remaining 2 PC-Boards, which were delivered to the GDR State Security Service (STASI) by Mr. Bollier. The MST-13 PC-Boards consisted of 8 layers of fiberglass and were brown in colour.
2.> These statements recorded by me were not correct!
I confirm today on 18th July 2007 that I stole the third handmanufactured MST-13 Timer PC-Board consisting of 8 layers of fiberglass from MEBO Ltd. and gave it without permission on *22nd June 1989 to a person officially-investigated in the "Lockerbie case".
3.> At this *time I did not know , that the MST-13 Timer PC-Board was used for a specific purpose in connection with the attack on PanAm 103, otherwise I would have requested permission from one of the owners of M/S Mebo Ltd (Meister or Bollier) to release the MST-13 PC-Board.
4.> In addition I have handed over without permission a summary of the production films, hand-stuck templates and the blueprints of the MST-13 Timer production in a yellow evelope to Det. Superintendent James Gilchrist, Scottish Police during a *visit to Zurich in June 1991.
(* according to Mebo: without the necessary sanction of the Swiss law enforcement).
5.> Reason why I did not explain the true background before the court proceedings.I have been living in an indescribable condition of depression of and fear since my second examination by the police in 1991.
I got a shock and was in a significant state of anxiety when I was shown the photograph with the apparent MST-13 Timer fragment by the "BUPO", FBI and the Scottish Police , surprisingly for the first time in *mid January 1991 , which was apparently found in Lockerbie and they confronted me with the fact that this MST-13 Timer fragment was found in Lockebie and was a part of the ignition device of the suitcase with explosives, which caused the Boeing 747 PanAm Flight 103 to crash, killing 270 people...
*According to Mr. Bollier`s statement he was shown photographs of the MST-13 Timer fragment (No.PT/35, PT/35(b) etc.) on 23rd April 1990 by "BUPO" and on 15th November 1990 by FBI and the Scottish Police.
Although the portrayed MST-13 fragment at this time itself, had been sawed into two pieces apparently for forensic reasons, it did not escape me that the MST-13 fragment on the police photograph (No. PT/35(b) came from the non-operational MST-13 prototype PC-board that I had stolen; this because there are clear characteristics e.g. on a specific soldering terminal, a relay had never been soldered. The soldering terminal was flat and clean at this place.Take note : I saw the photograph with the illustration of the non-processed originals, apparently the MST-13 Timer fragment under "Evidence No. PT-35, image 9 from Crownoffice, gov. UK", for the first time at MEBO Ltd after the "Lockerbie- Appeal 2001", before my first Affidavit. I clearly recognize the scratched remnants of the soldering tracts on this enlarged digital police photograph. I had nothing to do with the letter "M" (possibly an abbreviation of Muster 'sample'), which appears. When I realized that the MST-13 PC-board, after it was handed over by me without permission was misused for deliberate politically criminal "action", it was clear to me that I was stuck "in the middle of it" and decided to keep quiet, for it could have been extremely dangerous for me as an unintentional "bearer of secrets"...
I am sorry for the consequences of my silence at that time for the innocent Libyan Mr. Abdelbaset Al Megrahi, sentenced to life imprisonment, and for the country of Libya.
With the information known to me I would like to put an end to the accusation that Libya is responsible for the Lockerbie Tragedy by "manufacturing" MST-13 Timer-Link with criminal intent.
6.> The reason why I reveal this fundamentally important information only today :
I would like to use this opportunity to clear my conscience, because I cannot be prosecuted for stealing, delivering and making false statements about the MST-13 Timer PC-board, on grounds of statutory limitation.
7.> The time is right for this, because action for a Second Appeal has been granted in the "Lockerbie Case" on account of Miscarriage of Justice". I would also like to apologize to Mr. Meister and Mr.Bollier, MEBO Ltd for the damage caused to their prestige.
I herewith declare that the contents of the Affidavit are true.

and an accusation
31.08.2007 11:24
The deposition of a Swiss electronics engineer could call into question the responsibility for Libya in the attack.
" I lied in my testimony on the attack of Lockerbie." The man who made this official deposition in front of the police force of Zurich east one of the principal witnesses for the prosecution against Libya in the attack against a Pan Am Boeing 747, which killed 270 when it exploded in December 1988 above the small Scottish town of Lockerbie. This solemn retractation, carried out on July 18 by the Swiss electronics engineer Ulrich Lumpert, could have a decisive effect on the fate of the Libyan Abdelbasset Al-Megrahi, of the Libyan secret service, freeing him from a life prison sentence in Glasgow.
Ulrich Lumpert, 65 years, affirms himself relieved. "I lived in an indescribable state of depression and of fear ", he in his deposition says. The engineer, pilot number 550 in the Al-Megrahi lawsuit in 2001, had then recognized an essential exhibit : a fragment of a 'timer', an electronic element intended to start an explosion at a predetermined time, manufactured by his employer, the Zurich company Mebo.
Ulrich Lumpert returns today to declarations and adds a vital element : he admits " to have stolen" this timer in the Mebo laboratory and to have given it to a named police officer related to the investigation. This assertion accredits a theory maintained by many people, journalists, magistrates and even parents of victims : there would have been " tampering " in the investigation, to accuse Libya, whereas the first tracks carried out to a ProSyrian Palestinian group.
Regulation of the facts
The new deposition of Ulrich Lumpert was published on its Internet site by the Mebo firm. This Zurich company sold many timers to Libya, but since the beginning of the affair its owners campaigned to deny that the court exhibit of the formed part of the batches bought by Tripoli. They add that the timer presented by the Glasgow prosecutor was deteriorated, changing form and color to suit the prosecutions case.
" We are relieved ", said the Director Edwin Bollier, one of the founders of Mebo. He informed last Thursday the Attorney General of Zurich, who has according to him written to their Scottish counterpart. The Swiss owner is not surprised by the delay of the revelations of his ex-employee : " He awaited the regulation of the facts to minimize the risks. " The moment chosen by the engineer forms part however of a quite particular context. Scottish justice authorised at the end of June the condemned Libyan to appeal, on the basis of the possibility of a miscarriage of justice. But the famous timer did not form part of it. The declaration of Ulrich Lumpert could add an element to discharge. And to help to solve a problem which always weighs down the relations between London and Tripoli, which always protested the innocence of the prisoner of Glasgow.
Apologies for my poor translation of this Figaro story, if anyone fluent in French can improve on it then it would be appreciated.
I have to add some points here for those who haven't followed this story closely.
First, if true, this destroys the validity of the conviction and Megrahi will surely soon be freed. Lumpert was was of the two key civilian winesses at the trial, the other being a Maltese shopkeeper whose testimony was later described by the senior judge as being mentally unstable.
I can't find Mr Lumperts statement on the
The Figaro story also tries to shift the blame onto a ProSyrian Palestinian group. That was the first official story and it has remained the fallback official story. I don't belive that is necessarily true - it certainly is only one of many possibilities and I would caution against accepting it without further and better evidence.
The implications of this story cannot be allowed to buried. I hope some of you can see it exposes not only the corruption of the Scottish justice system at least since that point ( McKie) but also the underlying imperial manipulation of world events.
The story is now on every 911 site, which I never read, but if they hadn't carried it then I would never have googled it. Those of you who slag off the 911ers as conspiraloons and other smears should think about that and it's implications for IM editorial policy. A campaign to discourage and smear people here leads to stories being hidden to IM until the mainstream break them. This discourages citizen-journalism as speculation is the starting point for any investigation. I believe that most people who do smear 911ers are well-motivated, but I also believe at least one of them is an active undercover agent - and I correct about that one person there may be more. In short, I think there is a campaign here against both 911ers and myself, which is at least seeded by the security services.
I have made mistakes here. The worst mistake I made was recruiting another IM poster to a demo. I've been called paranoid and smeared beyond belief since coming to the conclusion he is an agent. I may be wrong, he may just be a fantasist, but that seems less likely than ever.
Apart from recruiting him for a minor anti-military demo, I also invited him to acompany me as an independent witness to interview Al Megrahi in Greenock prison.

In truth
03.09.2007 01:08
Funny how when I say say something it is hidden and editted (
And I never lied when I said what was hidden, that I recruited an IM poster who claimed to have a friend on the Libyn desk. I even offered a polygraph test. And yet the admin who editted my story and then hid it shows this is far less free than the mainstream. If you could edit the names out of it, then why hide the rest of it ?
For shame.

"
Vital Lockerbie evidence 'was tampered with'
Fragments of bomb timer that helped to convict a Libyan ex-agent were 'practically carbonised' before the trial, says bankrupt Swiss businessman
Few people apart from conspiracy theorists and investigative journalists working on the case were prepared to believe Bollier until the end of last month, when Lumpert, one of his former employees, walked into a Zurich police station and asked to swear an affidavit before a notary."
