...should like to point out that Poppe was a Baltic German, not a Russian, and very anti-Stalin.

...relatives of the Flight 103 victims know only too well, even those warnings were not the first. In October, West German police arrested a member of a Syrian-backed guerrilla group, the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine-General Command, and discovered a Toshiba Boombeat Model 453 radio- cassette player fitted with explosives and a barometric device designed to explode at high altitudes. In the first week of November, the West Germans held a conference in Wiesbaden to distribute information about the construction of the bomb.
