CNN Questions Lockerbie: Did someone else bomb Pan Am 103? http://www.cnn.com/2012/05/22/world/lockerbie-suspects-qa/index.html
He believes that
Iran is the likely suspect behind the bombing, using the Palestinian
group The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine-General Command
(PFLP-GC) to carry out the attack.
He
told CNN he believed the group operated from Damascus but had a cell
inside Germany, and alleges the attack was in revenge for the accidental
shooting down of an Iranian passenger jet by the Americans in July 1988
with the loss of 290 lives. Missiles from USS Vincennes hit the plane
as it flew over the Persian Gulf

CNN's Nic Robertson, who tracked down al Megrahi in Libya during the uprising against Gadhafi, spoke to his family in August 2011. They told him they believed al-Megrahi was the victim of both international justice and the regime of the ousted Libyan leader, who they say used him as a scapegoat.

The U.N. observer at the trial, Hans Kochler, has also called into question the verdict, telling the UK's Independent newspaper in 2009 that he believed al Megrahi to be innocent.
"I watched a case unfold that was based on circumstantial evidence. The indictment against him and Fhimah went to great lengths to explain how they supposedly planted a bomb on Flight 103, and yet Fhimah was acquitted of all the charges against him. It made no sense that al Megrahi was guilty when Fhimah was acquitted," he said.
