Police relaunch Lockerbie investigation   
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/africaandindianocean/libya/6425205/Police-relaunch-Lockerbie-bombing-investigation.html


Now 

where have I read this before?

quote

"Critics of Megrahi's conviction – including Dr Jim Swire, whose 
daughter Flora died on the plane – believe Libya and its ruler Colonel 
Muammar Gaddafi were framed in a US-led conspiracy. They suggest that 
the group most likely to have carried out the bombing was the Popular 
Front for the Liberation of Palestine General Command (PFLP-GC).

In 1988 the group was under the control of Ahmed Jibril, a former 
captain in the Syrian army, who was based in Damascus and funded by 
Iran. Five months before the Lockerbie bombing in July 1988, Iran Air 
Flight 655 was accidentally shot down by the USS Vincennes with the 
loss of 290 lives. The Lockerbie bombing may have been in revenge for 
that attack, which Iran has never accepted was a mistake."
