Craig Murray boldly affirms that the FCO and MI6 knew that al-Megrahi was not the Lockerbie bomber.

I have posted this typo-strewn question on his site:

On what basis do you 'affirm' (presuably (sic) on the basis of your former professional FCO experience) that "the FCO and MI6 knew that al-Megrahi was not the Lockerbie bomber"?

Your posting of 8 September referred to possible intelligence reports to this effect, which you say you did not read. Anything else?

Basically, this is a very serious claim for a former UK diplomat to make, and I wonder what hard evidence you have to back it up.

Disclaimer: I never had access to any secret or other FCO/MI6 papers on all this story, so I have nothing to offer myself on the substance as seen from the 'inside'.
