CAMPZEIST, Netherlands (AP)
— A CIA spy testified Tuesday that
two Libyans kept bricks of explo
sives in a desk at Malta airport for at
least two years, until a few weeks be
fore Pan Am Flight 103 blew up,
killing 270 people.
But the Libyan, who became a CIA

Arab Airlines as a cover.
He said Fhimah, his immediate
boss, kept bricks of explosives
locked in a desk at Malta airport for

before the bombing.
Fhimah “told me he had 10 kilo
grams (22 pounds) of TNT delivered
by Abdel Basset,” Giaka said, refer

He said he was told to keep the ex
istence of the explosives quiet.
Giaka also said he saw Megrahi,
who had been in charge of airline
security, with a “brownish” suit-
