These segments examine allegations of the complicity of elements of Western intelligence in the bombing of Pan Am flight 103 in December of 1988. Although Libya has been fingered as the culprit for this terrorist act, there are numerous indications that some elements of American, British and West German intelligence may have aided and abetted the actual bombing and/or covered up aspects of the subsequent investigation.
Among the points covered in this program:
Allegations that the bombers “piggy-backed” the bomb onto a DEA sting operation;
German refusal to detain a member of the terrorist cell implicated in the bombing (who was being sought by British investigators for interrogation);
American intelligence agents’ intense interest in documents carried by a group of U.S. military intelligence operatives who died in the bombing;
Apparent attempts to suppress a documentary film that discusses possible Western complicity in the bombing.
(Recorded in the fall of 1995.)
