Lockerbie - a confession

Danny | 30.08.2007 22:56 | Terror War

This is a copy of an an anonymous email I just found at  http://www.nineeleven.co.uk/board/viewtopic.php?p=86409
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.

Zurich 18th July, 2007



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.
