The True Story Behind the Lockerbie Terror Attack and the Decades Long Search for Answers

On December 21, 1988, Pan Am Flight 103 en route from London to New York suffered an explosion over the Scottish town of Lockerbie. Tragically, all 259 passengers and crew perished, along with 11 local residents whose homes were hit by the debris. Subsequent investigation by Scottish police and FBI agents revealed a bomb hidden within a Toshiba radio cassette player, which had been stowed in a Samsonite suitcase. To this day, the Lockerbie bombing holds the title as the most fatal terror attack ever to occur on British soil.
