CIA 'was monitoring drugs man whose bag held bomb'
EBEN HARRELL

MEETINGS between the FBI and the SCRO were part of a larger effort by US
intelligence officials to cover up the truth behind the Lockerbie bombing,
according to Juval Aviv, Pan Am's senior Lockerbie investigator.

Mr Aviv's investigation into the bombing claimed US intelligence was
indirectly involved in the 1988 attack.

In 1987, the report says, US agents discovered and began monitoring a heroin
smuggling route from the Middle East to the United States, run by drug
dealers with ties to Hezbollah terrorists holding western hostages in
Beirut.

US agents allegedly agreed to let the dealers run their heroin operation
through Germany's Frankfurt airport and London's Heathrow in return for a
promise they would help free hostages.

Mr Aviv claims Khalid Jaafar, a young Lebanese American killed on Pan Am
103, was a regular courier for the operation. On the flight that exploded,
Jaafar's heroin-loaded suitcase was switched for one with a bomb and given a
free pass through security as an "official" bag.

An Iran-sponsored terrorist group likely orchestrated the switch in
retaliation for a US navy cruiser mistakenly shooting down an Iranian
passenger jet in July 1988, killing 290 pilgrims on their way to Mecca.

According to Mr Aviv, the fact that US intelligence agencies were monitoring
the smuggling ring would have been a huge embarrassment - and one worth
covering up.

"Conviction of the Libyans was very important because they had to cover up
the truth," Mr Aviv told The Scotsman.

"America allowed a civilian airline to run drugs and risk innocent people.
That looks very, very bad."

The report has repeatedly been denied by both British and US governments,
but has gained the support of several family members of British victims in
the crash.

Mr Aviv said: "There is a history in this case of whistle-blowers ending up
in jail. They have put such a huge effort into covering everything up and
getting consensus."
