Lockerbie — Khaled Nazir Jaafar & the Unwitting Drug Mule Theory

Posted on May 19, 2023 by L

“If my son is linked somehow, please, show me. As his father, I have to know.”

Nazir Jaafar
Detroit, USA
(May 7 1989)

May 19 2023 — A reader told me that a man she knew in Michigan had died aboard Pan Am 103. I decided to share with you my reply. Whoever looks back at the first theory of the Lockerbie tragedy must keep in mind that the first script is no better than the final one. I have no way to know if the Lockerbie investigators knew who Jaafar was, but surely the FBI (and the CIA) knew exactly who he was.  And Khaled was neither a drug smuggler nor a terrorist.

On This Day — Operation El Dorado Canyon (April 14 1986) [Timelines & Conspiracy Theories]

Posted on April 14, 2023 by L

“President Ronald Reagan didn’t seek congressional approval when he bombed Libya [April 14 1986] in retaliation for a bombing of a Pan Am flight over Lockerbie, Scotland [December 21 1988].”

Amber Phillips
Washington Post
(April 7 2017)

April 14 1986 — Reagan Strikes on Tripoli and Benghazi

April 14 2023 — In a piece published by the Washington Post on April 7 2017, Amber Phillips wrote that President Ronald Reagan’s April 14 1986 bombing raid on Tripoli and Benghazi was retaliation for the December 21 1988 attack on Pan Am 103 over Lockerbie. Obvious nonsense!

But I would like to take this opportunity to remind you the importance of studying, researching and analyzing the facts! Whatever the subject I investigate, I always begin the same way. I work out the very best timeline I can manage. This is a theory of mine: No lie, no matter how professional — even a CIA lie — can survive a good timeline. Follow us on Twitter: @INTEL_TODAY
