STOCKHOLM — Libyan leader Moammar Khadafy personally ordered the bombing of Pan Am Flight 103, which exploded over the Scottish town of Lockerbie in 1988, the former Libyan justice minister said in an interview Wednesday with Swedish newspaper Expressen. Expressen on Wednesday quoted Mustafa Abdel-Jalil as telling their correspondent in Libya that "I have proof that Khadafy gave the order about Lockerbie." He didn't describe the proof. He told Expressen Khadafy gave the order to Abdel Baset al-Megrahi, the only man convicted in the bombing of Pan Am Flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland, which killed all 259 people on board and 11 on the ground on Dec. 21, 1988. "To hide it, he (Khadafy) did everything in his power to get al-Megrahi back from Scotland," Abdel-Jalil was quoted as saying. Al-Megrahi was granted a compassionate release from a Scottish prison in August 2009 on the grounds that he was suffering from prostate cancer and would die soon. He is still alive. Expressen spokeswoman Alexandra Forslund said its reporter, Kassem Hamade, interviewed the ex-justice minister at "a local parliament in a large city in Libya." She didn't want to name the city, citing security concerns. By rich swier | 9/27/10 | 10:47 AM EDT | 0 Comments ShareThis I read with great interest a New York Post story about Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's visit to New York. What struck me about the column by Brad Hamilton were these paragraphs: The president shared a hush-hush meal with Farrakhan and members of the New Black Panther Party Tuesday at the Warwick Hotel on West 54th Street. This meeting is strange in and of itself, especially given the fact that Attorney General has given a pass to two members of the New Black Panther Party members who intimidated voters in 2008. It is also interesting to note that President Obama spent Memorial Day at the home of Marty Nesbitt who just happens to live across the street from Louis Farrakhan in the Kenwood-Hydepark neighborhood of Chicago. You know that is in the same typical American neighborhood where Weather Underground terrorist Bill Ayers lives. What makes this even stranger is that, President Barack Obama's former pastor for twenty-years, Reverend Jeremiah Wright is close friends and made a trip with Louis Farrakhan to Libya in 1986 to meet with President Muammar Gaddafi. According to Stanley Kurtz of the National Review Online: Wright was scheduled to speak at the march, but wasn’t able to reach the podium on time. After the march was over, Wright actually co-published a book defending the event. The book is called, When Black Men Stand Up for God: Reflections on the Million Man March. I’ve read it. The first half consists of a series of sermons by Wright lauding the march and defending it from critics. It’s true that, in contrast to his recent glorification of Farrakhan, Wright in this book tries to downplay the Farrakhan issue, chastising the media for focusing on it (sound familiar?). But Wright does say, in defense of Farrakhan, that: “The enemy is not white people, but white supremacy. The enemy isn’t Farrakhan. The enemy is still white supremacy.” In the end, the mere act of publishing a book in defense of the Million Man March is a major public gesture in defense of Farrakhan. Obama had to know about this book, and probably about the many sermons Wright delivered on the issue. In my recent piece, “The Audacity of the Real ‘Audacity’,” you can find a longer defense of Farrakhan from one of Wright’s sermons of the early 199082;s. Clearly, given that defense, Wright’s later decision to attend and speak at the Million Man March, his decision to publish a book of sermons defending the march, his earlier trip to Libya with Farrakhan, his recent award to Farrakhan, the magazine cover story and the laudatory statements accompanying that award, and Wright’s opinion of Farrakhan can hardly have been unknown to Obama. It should be noted that Barack Obama also attended the Million Man March. According the Daniel Treiman of the Jewish Daily: "What I saw was a powerful demonstration of an impulse and need for African-American men to come together to recognize each other and affirm our rightful place in the society,” [Obama] said. “There was a profound sense that African-American men were ready to make a commitment to bring about change in our communities and lives. “But what was lacking among march organizers was a positive agenda, a coherent agenda for change. Without this agenda a lot of this energy is going to dissipate. Just as holding hands and singing ‘We shall overcome’ is not going to do it, exhorting youth to have pride in their race, give up drugs and crime, is not going to do it if we can’t find jobs and futures for the 50 percent of black youth who are unemployed, underemployed, and full of bitterness and rage.[“] So who are Louis Farrakhan's friends? The New Black Panthers, the Reverend Jeremiah Wright, the President of Libya and the President of Iran. An interesting group of anarchists, haters of whites and Jews and the enemies of America, the West and Israel. Anyone see a pattern?
Who are the Nation of Islam Leader Louis Farrakhan's Closest Friends?
"President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's six nights in New York featured a secret sit-down with militant minister Louis Farrakhan, heckling in a hotel bar, and a fear of being rubbed out that bordered on paranoia.
"It’s been long known that Wright and Farrakhan traveled together to meet with Muammar Gaddafi in 1986. Wright also attended Farrakhan’s Million Man March in 1995, but the story goes even further.
The Chicago Reader profile of Obama, which is now linked to on the alternative weekly’s home page, notes that the then-aspiring politico “took time off from attending campaign coffees” to attend the 1995 march:
