Yes, Mr Bell wrote it in English. 706 00:40:40,120 --> 00:40:44,080 And given your limited grasp of languages, mistakes could be made. 707 00:40:45,720 --> 00:40:48,480 I signed the statement, as you can clearly see. 708 00:40:48,480 --> 00:40:50,480 And like I said before, I was shown 709 00:40:50,480 --> 00:40:52,760 photograph 8, and at that point, I... 710 00:40:52,760 --> 00:40:56,320 Your Lordships, I believe image number 8 should be 711 00:40:56,320 --> 00:41:00,080 put on the epidiascope and screens, simply for clarity. 712 00:41:04,720 --> 00:41:07,440 I confirmed many times, like I said... 713 00:41:07,440 --> 00:41:10,640 - Very well, let us move on... - What I said... 714 00:41:12,320 --> 00:41:14,880 ..was that from all the photographs I have been shown, 715 00:41:14,880 --> 00:41:17,480 number 8 is the only one really close and similar 716 00:41:17,480 --> 00:41:19,440 to the man who bought the clothing, 717 00:41:19,440 --> 00:41:21,800 and he's that man sitting in the dock. 718 00:41:32,320 --> 00:41:34,880 I didn't go to this store. 719 00:41:34,880 --> 00:41:36,000 Umbrella? 720 00:41:37,800 --> 00:41:39,840 What would I do with this? 721 00:41:50,080 --> 00:41:53,520 The story of Lockerbie is...complex. 722 00:41:53,520 --> 00:41:57,280 There are still gaps in the facts. 723 00:41:57,280 --> 00:42:00,680 Gaps that we imagine ourselves into, 724 00:42:00,680 --> 00:42:03,440 gaps that we hope time will fill. 725 00:42:03,440 --> 00:42:07,600 But after 12 years of investigation 726 00:42:07,600 --> 00:42:11,920 and many weeks of testimony, there is much that we do know. 727 00:42:13,600 --> 00:42:16,960 We know that on December the 21st 1988, 728 00:42:16,960 --> 00:42:20,080 a bomb caused Pan Am 103 729 00:42:20,080 --> 00:42:23,440 to disintegrate in the sky. 730 00:42:25,320 --> 00:42:28,480 We know that the town of Lockerbie, overnight, became a vast 731 00:42:28,480 --> 00:42:31,800 crime scene, divided into sectors. 732 00:42:31,800 --> 00:42:36,120 And we know that the recovery of bodies began that first night. 733 00:42:37,520 --> 00:42:39,400 Forensic testing revealed 734 00:42:39,400 --> 00:42:43,240 the explosion came from within a Samsonite suitcase 735 00:42:43,240 --> 00:42:45,880 in pallet 4041. 736 00:42:47,000 --> 00:42:52,880 The defence has not challenged this, nor the evidence that the explosive 737 00:42:52,880 --> 00:42:57,960 device was a Toshiba radio cassette player fitted with a MEBO timer. 738 00:42:57,960 --> 00:42:59,400 Parts of both the radio 739 00:42:59,400 --> 00:43:02,240 and the MEBO timer were found embedded in clothing, 740 00:43:02,240 --> 00:43:06,360 including Yorkie trousers that Mr Gauci remembers selling 741 00:43:06,360 --> 00:43:09,760 to a Libyan man fitting the first defendant's description, 742 00:43:09,760 --> 00:43:12,440 in December 1988, 743 00:43:12,440 --> 00:43:17,520 when Mr Megrahi has admitted that he was in Malta. 744 00:43:17,520 --> 00:43:20,960 And though he denies he returned to Malta on December the 20th, 745 00:43:20,960 --> 00:43:24,880 immigration records show that he did, 746 00:43:24,880 --> 00:43:27,800 using one of his other passports, 747 00:43:27,800 --> 00:43:32,960 the one in the name Abdusamad, that he claims to know nothing of. 748 00:43:32,960 --> 00:43:37,120 But, of course, has lied about his whereabouts, as a guilty man must 749 00:43:37,120 --> 00:43:41,360 when trying to keep his house of cards, of lies, from falling. 750 00:43:41,360 --> 00:43:42,800 Your Lordships, 751 00:43:42,800 --> 00:43:46,840 once more we will refer you to footage of Mr Salinger's interview 752 00:43:46,840 --> 00:43:48,960 with Mr Megrahi for ABC News. 753 00:43:48,960 --> 00:43:54,240 I was not in Malta over the 20th and 21 of December. 754 00:43:54,240 --> 00:43:55,840 Trust me, 755 00:43:55,840 --> 00:43:59,120 I was in Tripoli, with my family. 756 00:43:59,120 --> 00:44:00,880 Later in the interview, 757 00:44:00,880 --> 00:44:06,680 Mr Megrahi again claimed, "I was not in Malta that day." 758 00:44:06,680 --> 00:44:09,280 Mr Salinger asked if he was sure, 759 00:44:09,280 --> 00:44:11,200 and Mr Megrahi said... 760 00:44:11,200 --> 00:44:12,560 This is a surprise. 761 00:44:13,760 --> 00:44:19,920 But if I had time, I could find the proof I was in Tripoli. 762 00:44:21,080 --> 00:44:23,080 And I'm certain about it, 763 00:44:23,080 --> 00:44:26,120 because I only have one passport. 764 00:44:26,120 --> 00:44:27,480 One. 765 00:44:27,480 --> 00:44:33,240 This is how a bomb plot, like any plot, any story, takes shape. 766 00:44:33,240 --> 00:44:36,600 A chain of devastation that can be 767 00:44:36,600 --> 00:44:39,720 traced back to one deceit after another. 768 00:44:39,720 --> 00:44:41,880 A lie, upon a lie, upon a lie. 769 00:44:41,880 --> 00:44:45,800 But truths, they can be linked, too. 770 00:44:48,200 --> 00:44:49,720 The night before the bombing, 771 00:44:49,720 --> 00:44:53,320 after Mr Megrahi checked in to the Holiday Inn in Malta, 772 00:44:53,320 --> 00:44:57,560 we contend that he and Mr Fhimah met a third individual. 773 00:44:59,720 --> 00:45:05,320 This third individual was, we believe, Abu Agila Masud. 774 00:45:05,320 --> 00:45:09,920 We have heard the defence imply that Mr Masud does not exist. 775 00:45:09,920 --> 00:45:11,520 Perhaps time will tell. 776 00:45:11,520 --> 00:45:16,000 But Mr Megrahi and Mr Fhimah's whereabouts are known. 777 00:45:16,000 --> 00:45:18,240 From his Holiday Inn hotel room, 778 00:45:18,240 --> 00:45:21,720 Mr Megrahi called Mr Fhimah. 779 00:45:21,720 --> 00:45:28,240 It was 7.11am on the morning of the 21st of December, 780 00:45:28,240 --> 00:45:33,360 the day Pan Am 103 would go down. 781 00:45:33,360 --> 00:45:35,880 And they had a plan - 782 00:45:35,880 --> 00:45:40,960 to go to the airport with the suitcase holding the bomb. 783 00:45:40,960 --> 00:45:44,400 The case was checked on to Air Malta flight KM180 784 00:45:44,400 --> 00:45:46,040 with a rush tag. 785 00:45:46,040 --> 00:45:49,120 It flagged the case's ultimate destination as New York, 786 00:45:49,120 --> 00:45:50,600 via Frankfurt 787 00:45:50,600 --> 00:45:52,240 and London. 788 00:45:52,240 --> 00:45:55,920 The case should have been checked multiple times. 789 00:45:55,920 --> 00:45:59,960 But the defendants knew what others in the airline industry also knew 790 00:45:59,960 --> 00:46:05,640 in 1988, such safety protocols were often ignored. 791 00:46:05,640 --> 00:46:08,000 And when the case reached Frankfurt, 792 00:46:08,000 --> 00:46:13,800 outdated X-ray machines were relied upon as the only line of defence. 793 00:46:13,800 --> 00:46:15,520 And when it arrived in London, 794 00:46:15,520 --> 00:46:19,240 it was loaded onto Pan Am 103. 795 00:46:21,320 --> 00:46:25,120 The plot had reached a point of no return. 796 00:46:27,000 --> 00:46:29,640 There was less than an hour left 797 00:46:29,640 --> 00:46:34,280 on the MEBO timer attached to the BomBeat radio in the case. 798 00:46:35,680 --> 00:46:37,000 Time was ticking... 799 00:46:38,200 --> 00:46:41,320 ..and the last chance to save lives was lost. 800 00:46:43,880 --> 00:46:46,960 And to some extent, Your Lordships, the rest is history. 801 00:46:49,600 --> 00:46:51,800 Within minutes... 802 00:46:53,280 --> 00:46:55,600 ..hundreds of families had lost 803 00:46:55,600 --> 00:47:01,040 sons, daughters, husbands and wives. 804 00:47:02,640 --> 00:47:04,880 People from all over the world... 805 00:47:06,520 --> 00:47:08,880 ..coming home to loved ones for Christmas... 806 00:47:10,840 --> 00:47:14,200 ..with no idea they would soon fall from the sky 807 00:47:14,200 --> 00:47:16,720 onto a small Scottish town, 808 00:47:16,720 --> 00:47:20,240 as locals felt the heavens cave in. 809 00:47:22,520 --> 00:47:27,680 So many futures were shattered that cold December night. 810 00:47:29,920 --> 00:47:33,080 And the world changed forever 811 00:47:33,080 --> 00:47:36,400 in the way it looked at international terrorism 812 00:47:36,400 --> 00:47:37,960 and mass murder. 813 00:47:45,560 --> 00:47:48,480 - REPORTER: - Tonight, the court that has heard 84 days 814 00:47:48,480 --> 00:47:50,560 and three million words of evidence, 815 00:47:50,560 --> 00:47:54,640 is ready for the final day of Britain's biggest mass murder trial. 816 00:47:56,080 --> 00:47:59,360 From here, the three Scottish judges will deliver their verdict. 817 00:48:00,840 --> 00:48:04,040 The British relatives of the dead say it will be difficult. 818 00:48:07,840 --> 00:48:09,080 There you go. 819 00:48:09,080 --> 00:48:10,440 Oh, thanks. 820 00:48:26,880 --> 00:48:28,840 PHONE RINGS 821 00:48:41,760 --> 00:48:43,600 The judges have reached a verdict. 822 00:48:48,440 --> 00:48:51,360 My Lords, have you reached a verdict 823 00:48:51,360 --> 00:48:53,680 in respect of each accused? 824 00:48:55,680 --> 00:48:56,920 We have. 825 00:48:58,160 --> 00:49:01,000 Would you give me, please, your verdict 826 00:49:01,000 --> 00:49:06,240 in respect of the accused Al Amin Khalifah Fhimah? 827 00:49:13,840 --> 00:49:15,200 Not guilty. 828 00:49:15,200 --> 00:49:16,920 PEOPLE GASP 829 00:49:20,200 --> 00:49:23,520 Would you give me, please, your verdict in respect 830 00:49:23,520 --> 00:49:28,520 of the accused Abdelbaset Ali Mohmed al-Megrahi? 831 00:49:33,760 --> 00:49:35,000 Guilty. 832 00:49:35,000 --> 00:49:36,120 Yes! 833 00:49:47,600 --> 00:49:52,240 Are both verdicts unanimous, or by a majority? 834 00:49:52,240 --> 00:49:54,800 Both verdicts are unanimous. 835 00:49:59,360 --> 00:50:00,640 Well done. 836 00:50:18,400 --> 00:50:20,800 If this is justice, why doesn't it feel better? 837 00:50:22,200 --> 00:50:25,040 Well, because nothing's going to bring back your son. 838 00:50:31,440 --> 00:50:34,600 - REPORTER: - Tonight, behind high prison walls, a Libyan Intelligence 839 00:50:34,600 --> 00:50:38,200 agent is beginning a 20-year sentence for murder. 840 00:50:38,200 --> 00:50:41,720 And the man accused with him is leaving for Libya. 841 00:50:41,720 --> 00:50:44,880 The three judges admit there are uncertainties in this case, 842 00:50:44,880 --> 00:50:47,200 but nothing, they say, that gives them 843 00:50:47,200 --> 00:50:50,200 any reasonable doubt that Megrahi was the bomber. 844 00:50:50,200 --> 00:50:55,800 20 years is less than a month per victim, 845 00:50:55,800 --> 00:50:59,120 and somehow that doesn't sit right with me. 846 00:50:59,120 --> 00:51:03,440 It is with a form of relief that we experience this today. 847 00:51:03,440 --> 00:51:04,960 You can't mend my heart. 848 00:51:04,960 --> 00:51:06,480 Cos I still don't have her. 849 00:51:06,480 --> 00:51:08,720 - REPORTER: - So, although the world's attention may now move on, 850 00:51:08,720 --> 00:51:11,360 with the feeling justice has been served here, 851 00:51:11,360 --> 00:51:13,680 for the 400 people who lost children, 852 00:51:13,680 --> 00:51:16,480 the 76 people who lost husbands and wives, 853 00:51:16,480 --> 00:51:18,640 and the 140 who lost parents, 854 00:51:18,640 --> 00:51:21,720 there are still more questions than there are answers. 855 00:52:03,240 --> 00:52:06,560 We knew that his bags were found in 1989. 856 00:52:06,560 --> 00:52:08,480 The last things he owned and touched. 857 00:52:09,800 --> 00:52:13,120 Why have we had to wait so many years to have them returned to us? 858 00:52:13,120 --> 00:52:16,640 We suspected the defence would try to reignite suspicions around your 859 00:52:16,640 --> 00:52:22,000 son at the trial to provide an alternative theory, however untrue. 860 00:52:23,000 --> 00:52:26,200 We had to retain your son's belongings in case 861 00:52:26,200 --> 00:52:28,480 they were called into evidence. 862 00:52:28,480 --> 00:52:31,400 I never thought there could be anything worse than death... 863 00:52:34,040 --> 00:52:35,640 ..but 12 years of suspicion... 864 00:52:37,480 --> 00:52:38,680 ..that's been worse. 865 00:52:39,800 --> 00:52:44,200 I am so very sorry for all that your family's been
