On December 21, 1988, one of the worst terrorist attacks on the United States occurred: the bombing of Pan Am 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland, an explosion that tragically killed 270 people, including all 259 passengers and crew on board the plane and 11 people on the ground. And tonight, a new CNN documentary series explore the mysterious circumstances surrounding the bombing, weaving personal insights and interviews from Lockerbie residents and family members of the passengers with first-hand analysis from investigators, intelligence officers and other key witnesses who have not spoken about the incident until now.
The "gripping and emotional" Lockerbie: The Bombing of Pan Am 103 series "deftly tracks the complex web of theories that emerged during the global investigation that followed, and the unprecedented trial that played out on the world stage," per CNN. "Though a conviction was upheld in 2000, questions remain about those responsible for one of the most extreme terrorist acts on the United States in history."
