Did the CIA blow up Lockerbie jet? Bombing’s 30th anniversary ROCKED by shock claims

All passengers on board the Boeing 747-121 were killed, as were 11 people on the ground.

Suspicion quickly fell on terror groups linked to Syria, Iran and Libya.

But investigations eventually laid the blame squarely at the door of the Libyan leader Colonel Gaddafi.

Abdelbaset Ali Al-Megrahi and Lamen Khalifa Fhimah – Libyan Airlines officials who were also intelligence agents for Gaddafi – were eventually brought to trial in 2000.

In January 2001 Megrahi was convicted of 270 counts of murder and sentenced to life imprisonment, while Fhimah was acquitted.

But many doubts still remain about the validity of the case against the Libyans, and even family members of some of those who died in the disaster doubt whether the right men actually stood trial.

There have been countless opinions offered over the years as to why flight 103 was targeted and by whom.

One shocking theory is the attack was conducted by the CIA to cover up a drug smuggling ring


This shocking theory was promoted by Lester Coleman, a former member of the US Drug Enforcement Agency, who revealed the supposed existence of a protected drug route that ran between Europe and the US which allowed Syrian drug dealers to traffic heroin in return for providing the CIA with intelligence.

The agency ensured that suitcases containing drugs were not searched by airport authorities, but this backfired on them when the usual contents of the suitcases were replaced with a bomb.

A related theory alleges that the CIA let the attack happen, knowing that two of their agents who died on Flight 103 - Matthew Gannon and Major Charles McKee - had found out about the route and were returning to Washington to expose it.
