Pierre Salinger in outburst at Lockerbie trial

CAMP ZEIST, Netherlands (Reuters) -- Former White House press secretary and
journalist Pierre Salinger refused to leave the witness stand on Monday at
the Pan Am 103 trial, angrily telling the court "I know exactly who did it."

Salinger, presidential press secretary for John F. Kennedy, repeatedly
deviated from questions put to him as a prosecution witness, saying he wanted
to tell the court about his investigations.

He said he could name the people he believed were responsible for the
December 1988 bombing over Lockerbie, Scotland, that killed 259 people,
mostly Americans, on the jumbo jet and 11 on the ground.

Salinger was summoned to tell about 1991 interviews with the two suspected
Libyan masterminds of the attack, Abdel Basset al-Megrahi and Al-Amin Khalifa
Fahima, he did for ABC.

Prosecutors and defense lawyers finished questioning Salinger after about an
hour, but he demanded to stay on the witness stand.

"That's all? I want to tell the truth," Salinger said. "These two had nothing
to do with it. I know exactly who did it."

Judge Lord Sutherland told Salinger he could say what he liked outside the
court, but judicial rules would apply inside. Salinger was dismissed.

Salinger did not, in the end, say in court who he thought blew up the plane.

William Taylor, counsel for Megrahi, said the interviews with Salinger were
arranged by the Libyan foreign minister and former secret service chief with
the approval of Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi and that a ministry official
had been present during both interviews.

Prosecutors were expected to conclude their case either Monday or Tuesday.
