Gaddafi ordered the Lockerbie bombing, says ex-minister: Mustafa Abdel-Jalil, an ex-minister in Libya, has claimed that Muammar Gaddafi ordered the 1988 Lockerbie bombing, which killed 270 people. Further, he says he has proof. source
Each time Libya appears in the news, scores of newspaper editors go bananas. Once possessed of faculties that could detect a breaking story as readily as a dangling participle, these poor souls are now reduced to a jabbering stupor…
