Nine years after the death of Lockerbie bomber Abdelbaset al-Megrahi, Jim Swire, whose daughter was murdered in the 1988 terror attack, tells
Michael Alexander why he believes Iran, not Libya, masterminded the bombing.
Transfixed before the TV, Dr Jim Swire and his wife Jane were paralysed with dread as the breaking news emerged that a Pan American jumbo jet with more than 250 people on board had crashed in the Scottish Borders.
Justice For Megrahi committee appears on stage for Q&A after David Benson s play Lockerbie: Unfinished Business. Dr Jim Swire taking part in the question and answer session. St John s Church, Edinburgh, copyright Julie Howden Newsquest JIM Swire tells a story about a visit he made to the man convicted of the bombing of Pan-Am 103, the atrocity that killed 270 people including his daughter Flora. In the late stages of cancer, Abdelbaset al-Megrahi sat on his bed propped on pillows. By this point Swire considered him innocent of the murder of his daughter. The very last words Megrahi spoke to him were: “I am going to a place where I hope soon to see Flora. I will tell her that her father is my friend.”

The ActBlue charity platform is facilitating payments to an anti-Israel group tied to multiple terror organizations, potentially violating U.S. anti-terrorism laws, according to a legal group.
ActBlue, an online donation portal that primarily services liberal and Democrat-aligned organizations, works with Palestinian Campaign for the Academic and Cultural Boycott of Israel (PACBI), a hate group that is controlled by a coalition of organizations that the United States and other countries have designated as foreign terror organizations, according to the Zachor Legal Institute, a think-tank and advocacy organization that fights anti-Semitism.
