International Inquiry; Pan Am 103 and Flight 655

  • Submitted by: Christine Grahame, South of Scotland, Scottish National Party.
  • Date lodged: Monday, 23 November 2009
  • Motion reference: S3M-05256

That the Parliament supports the establishment of an international inquiry into the circumstances that led to the blowing up of Pan Am 103 over Lockerbie in December 1988 that murdered 270 passengers and urges all relevant Scottish authorities to co-operate with it; further supports that such an inquiry should also consider the relationship of that atrocity to the shooting down of Iranian flight 655 over the Straits of Hormuz five months before by a US warship, which claimed the lives of 290 passengers, and urges the international community to pursue, investigate and bring to justice all those ultimately responsible for these two terrorist attacks, which is considered to constitute crimes against humanity.
