The aircraft was destroyed by a bomb in a radio. The bomb was built my
Moomar Kaddafy's people. It was in the luggage hold in a bag. It went
off early due I think to some schedule delay for the flight, so that it
exploded over land not over open ocean. Within the last year or two was
a show on PBS, Frontline maybe, about tracking down the guys responsible
for organizing the whole thing. I think the main investigator was a
man whose sister? was killed on the plane. He spent a lot of time on
the ground in Libya tracking down these guys. One of them, who was
caught, was released on "compassion" grounds because he supposedly had
cancer. Years later he was still doing quite well.

I just watched a superb Smithsonian Channel program on the Lockerbie crash
of Pan Am flight 103. I had mistakenly thought the plane was brought down
by a bomb that a girl had transported on board that was given to her by an
acquaintance. That was not the case, however. Does anyone remember the
situation I am thinking of? A girl as a favor took I believe a transistor
radio or some other electronic equipment from a middle eastern friend to
deliver to someone in the states. Then it blew up in the air. I tried
Googling it but no luck.
