Lockerbie: the truth

On 21 December 1988, Pan Am Flight 103 from Frankfurt to Detroit was destroyed by a bomb, killing all 243 passengers and 16 crew.

Large sections of the aircraft crashed onto residential areas of Lockerbie, Scotland, killing a further 11 people on the ground.

Only one man has ever been convicted of the crime: Libyan Abdelbaset al-Megrahi, though few believe that he acted alone.

However, author Douglas Boyd conjects that it was Iran, not Libya, who was responsible for the attack.
