Ok - sorry - my misunderstanding!

And I should add that my concerns regarding the Lockerbie verdict simply concern how the bomb came to be on the aircraft - i.e. the Malta > Frankfurt > Heathrow theory which is full of holes. Personally, I find it worrying that it has not been satisfactorily established how the bomb did get into the hold.

I don't want to drag this thread off-topic with too many details but the bottom line is that there was no direct evidence at all presented at the trial that a suitcase carrying the bomb was ever introduced into the baggage system in Malta. The judges agreed that it was "not established" how that this had happened and the Crown "accepted that they could not point to any specific route by which the primary suitcase could have been loaded."
