Lockerbie: 5. The Senussi Files
Summary
This episode explores the Sanussi files, recovered Libyan intelligence documents that allegedly implicate Abdelbaset al-Megrahi and others in the Lockerbie bombing. Host Miles Bonner joins journalist Vincent Neuzil in Paris to examine evidence linking Libyan officials to the plot, including tests on suitcase bombs. While the files bolster the conviction of Megrahi, skeptics question their authenticity, leaving the truth of the 1988 disaster still debated.
