Previously undisclosed evidence held by the US intelligence authorities backs up long-held suspicions that a Palestinian militant group, rather than a single Libyan national, masterminded the Lockerbie bombing, according to a new investigation broadcast by Channel 4.

 

On the 25th anniversary of the bombing of Pan Am flight 103, which led to the deaths of 270 people, a specially commissioned report by Channel 4 News claims that a CIA agent, Dr Richard Fuisz, was given detailed information from within US intelligence and from 15 high-ranking Syrian officials in the immediate years after the December 1988 bombing.

 

The Syrians revealed to him that they had been in "constant" contact with Ahmed Jabril, the leader of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine - General Command (PFLP-GC), over a five year period shortly after the Lockerbie bombing and regarded the group as being behind the bombing.
