Lockerbie Bombing "Was Work of Iran, Not Libya," Says Former Iranian Spy
(Telegraph-UK) Gordon Rayner - The Lockerbie bombing was ordered by Iran and carried out by a Syrian-based terrorist group, former Iranian intelligence officer and defector Abolghassem Mesbahi has admitted. He claims that Ayatollah Khomeini, who was Iran's Supreme Leader, ordered the bombing of Pan Am flight 103 in 1988 "to copy exactly what happened to the Iranian Airbus," referring to a U.S. Navy strike on an Iranian commercial jet six months earlier in which 290 people died.
