Former US Presidential aide: "I´ll Reveal Who Really Blew Up Lockerbie Jet" News of the World (UK), November 26 Exclusive - by Graham McKendry - A prosecution witness who tried to tell the Lockerbie trial he knows who planted the bomb may return to the court - as a witness for the defence. Former US Presidential aide Pierre Salinger insists that the two Libyans accused of blowing up doomed Pan Am flight 103 are INNOCENT. But, astonishingly, when he tried to tell the Scottish Court at Camp Zeist in Holland who was really responsible for the atrocity, he was told to shut up and leave the stand. Now Salinger is willing to appear as a defence witness for the accused Libyans (names and ages). In an exclusive interview Salinger, 74, told the News of the World: "Those who stand accused in Zeist are innocent...and I know who carried out the attack. The defence team have now asked me to take the stand on behalf of their clients. I believe what I have to say will have a significant impact on the case." Salinger blames Palestinian terrorists for the attack and says it was carried out in revenge for the downing of an Iran Air flight by the US ship Vincennes in July 1988. He said Iran was outraged by the killing of 290 people, most of whom were pilgrims on their way to Mekka. "After the incident, Iranian officials approached the Popular front for the Liberation of Palestine and asked them to carry out the attack. The Bush and Thatcher administrations originally pointed their finger at the Syrian-based terrorists. They only turned their attention to Libya when they needed Syria´s help in securing peace in the Middle East." Salinger, who conducted a five-year investigation into the Lockerbie-incident, added: "I am the only person to have asked the two Libyans about their role in what happened. They both vigorously deny any involvment." He added: "I feel very badly that I was not allowed to explain what I know. But I am hopeful that I can be of use to the defence team. I have no idea if those who killed 270 people in the Lockerbie tragedy will ever face justice. But I will do all I can to make sure people know who was responsible."

OT: A Group of European Oil Companies Announces Oil Discovery in Libya's Murzuq Basin By Gabriel Lazarus and Brooke Nelson Madrid, Nov. 29 (Bloomberg) -- Repsol YPF SA, Europe's fifth-largest oil company, said it discovered oil at an exploration field in Libya. The A-1 oil field in the Murzuq Basin, 800 kilometers south of Tripoli, is likely to produce as much as 2,500 barrels of oil a day, the company said in a press release. Repsol is testing the site on behalf of a group of European oil companies including Austria's OMV AG, Total Fina Elf SA, the fourth-biggest publicly traded oil company, and Norway's Saga Petroleum ASA. Repsol began searching for oil in the area in May 1998, when the Libyan government granted approval for exploration and agreed to a production sharing arrangement with the European companies.
