CIA WANTED LOCKERBIE PATSIES MURDERED BEFORE TRIAL
According to a former Washington lobbyist, the CIA wanted to assassinate Abdelbaset Ali Mohmed al-Megrahi and his co-accused, Al-Amin Khalifa Fhimah, before their Lockerbie Bomb trial could took place.

Chasey says that he was asked to plant homing devices on Megrahi and Fhimah as part of the plot.

Reportedly the CIA framed Megrahi, using fake evidence.
Fhimah was acquitted in the 2001 trial.
Megrahi was found guilty and, allegedly was later made sick by the CIA.

William Chasey is president of the Foundation for Corporate Social Responsibility, a non-governmental organisation.
He became involved with Libya and the Lockerbie investigation when he was a lobbyist in Washington.
"On behalf of business clients, I went on a lobbying mission in 1992 with a US congressman in a bid to stabilise relations between the US and Gaddafi's hated regime," he said.
He says he was taken to a private meeting with the two Lockerbie accused at a house in Tripoli.
"Myself and the congressman and his wife then met Gaddafi and heard his pleas for help within Washington to get sanctions lifted, and heard his claims that Libya was not involved in Lockerbie," Chasey said.CIA 'wanted to kill Lockerbie bomber before trial'
In 1995, Chasey wrote a book, Foreign Agent 4221: The Lockerbie Cover-Up, which claimed Libya was not responsible for the bombing.
The US government decided to take revenge on Chasey, and he was investigated by the FBI.
"The FBI investigation, along with a probe by the US tax service, damaged my business and put incredible pressure on my wife, Virginia, and our young daughter Katie," he said.
He said: "I was hit with 21 felony charges over crimes including wire fraud, mail fraud, money laundering, tax evasion, even larceny and forgery over allegations I stole headed notepaper from congressional offices."
He denies the claims and says all but one were dropped in 1998.CIA 'wanted to kill Lockerbie bomber before trial'

"An agent approached me and asked if I could meet again with Megrahi and Fhimah to pinpoint their location so the CIA could assassinate them. In return, the charge would be dropped and my record expunged," he said.
"My belief is that the CIA wanted the suspects eliminated to stop any trial taking place...."
Chasey was sent to jail.
He said: "I was sent to Allenwood Federal Prison in Pennsylvania and was amazed when I was joined in the canteen one day by the same CIA agent and one of his colleagues, dressed as inmates.
"They offered to free me and clear my record, but I said I would not take part in their plot to put electronic homing devices in the suspects' residences so they could be targeted...."

On Jan. 30, 1990, Tony Gauci was shown a SLALOM shirt and was asked if he had sold one to the mysterious buyer (alleged to be Megrahi). "That man did not buy any shirt, I am sure," Gauci stated to the investigators. Ulrich Lumbert wrote: "I confirm today on July 18, 2007, that I stole the third hand-manufactured MST-13 timer PC-board consisting of eight layers of fiber-glass from MEBO Ltd. and gave it without permission on June 22, 1989, to a person officially investigating in the Lockerbie case."Lockerbie: J'accuse - OhmyNews International
Dr Jim Swire, whose daughter Flora, 23, died in the bombing, believes Megrahi was innocent.
"I think Bill Chasey is telling the truth about the CIA," says Swire. "He is a respected philanthropist and was a leading lobbyist in Washington, so he's not a crank."
