Pan Am Flight 103 bombing investigation information


The wreckage of Pan Am Flight 103

The investigation into the bombing of Pan Am Flight 103 began at 19:03 on December 21, 1988 when Pan Am Flight 103 was blown up over Lockerbie in Dumfries and Galloway, Scotland. The perpetrators had intended the plane to crash into the sea, destroying any traceable evidence, but the late departure time of the aircraft meant that its explosion over land left a veritable trail of evidence.[1] The investigation led to the prosecution, conviction, and imprisonment of Abdelbaset al-Megrahi.
