LeMaquis   10 #90 Posted May 20, 2012 no they're not, there has never even been a whisper that the y were palestinian for god's sake - they might be iranian, doing a revenge job for the US downing of their airliner, that was the presumption at the time and it remains plausible  websters below provides a link to more than a whisper. This link about Foot's article in the New Statesman http://www.newstatesman.com/international-politics/2009/09/pilger-megrahi-justice contains the quote about Palestinians acting on behlaf of the Iranians;  "He (Foot) named Margaret Thatcher the "architect" of the cover-up after revealing that she killed the independent inquiry her transport secretary Cecil Parkinson had promised the Lockerbie families; and in a phone call to President George Bush Sr on 11 January 1990, she agreed to "low-key" the disaster after their intelligence services had reported "beyond doubt" that the Lockerbie bomb had been placed by a Palestinian group, contracted by Tehran, as a reprisal for the shooting down of an Iranian airliner by a US warship in Iranian territorial waters."
