He described a dangerous web of connections between the western Drug Enforcement Administration and Middle East organizations and specifically about DEA arrangements for controlled delivery baggage handling out of Frankfurt airport. What he knew put a different spin on the Lockerbie tragedy, suggesting that it was a Syrian based terrorist cell that blew up the aircraft and infiltrated a US Drug sting pipeline to do it; Coleman ended up as an exile in Sweden after trumped up passport charges were filed against him in Chicago
