Dec 21st will be 34 years. I remember day vividly & I've rep'd victims' families for nearly 30 years. I applaud US dedication to accountability but true justice will ultimately require US/UK to reveal all that it knows. Too many past opportunities missed. nyti.ms/3Br8Vmz
Here is op-ed I penned for @thedailybeast for #PanAm103 30th anniversary.

Here is op-ed I penned for 25th anniversary of #PanAm103 for @FoxNews.
Sadly remarkably similar to the one I would write 5 years later.

We have now formally lodged appeal grounds in the posthumous appeal for #Lockerbie bombing of Flight PanAm 103- where Al-Megrahi was convicted of the worst terror attack in the UK killing 270 people over 31 years ago- The appeal grounds are “substantial” #LockerbieAppeal
If the appeal is sucessful it will mean that the UK & USA stand accused of living a monumental lie for over 31 years, imprisoning a man they knew to be innocent & punishing the Libyan people
Powerful forces have operated to obstruct the search for truth, but I am grateful to Dr Jim Swire, Rev Mosey, @rblackqc & the family of the late Al- Megrahi for never giving up in the fight for justice & truth
A reminder that the University where this professor claims to be a professor of oncology, says that he is not. Not only is he disowned by the University he claims to represent, he is disowned by most of the medical profession.

Sikora is very popular with the Right as he has attacked the #NHS for decades. (calls it Communist)
Appeared in US ads attacking Obamacare.
Has claimed to be at Imperial College for 22 years. They say no, and they sued him.

Sikora was one of three doctors that #Lockerbie bomber Abdelbaset al-Megrahi got a diagoisis of cancer (paid for by Gaddafi) to be released ...
Sikora gave him three months to live.
... whereupon he recovered in miraculous fashion, living on for several years.

That this appeal was allowed & not underlying conviction, reflects travesty of justice undermining Scottish legal system. Evidence demonstrated al-Megrahi's guilt. Even if some circumstantial, typical in most criminal cases & was not unreasonable finding.

Sad to see. Slap in face of all victims & their families (and, yes, I know small number of British families supported effort and there is story behind that).

My op-ed in @thedailybeast in 2018 for 30th anniversary of bombing.

Today's 31st memorial ceremony at @ArlingtonNatl for #PanAm103 families featured remarks by #AttorneyGeneralBarr, who as AG in 1991 led @TheJusticeDept to indict two Libyans for terrorist bombing. 
The playing of Taps in memory of the 270 victims (189 Americans) who were murdered by #Libya 31 years ago today was particularly somber. #PanAm103/#Lockerbie
