THE MALTESE DOUBLE CROSS -- ILLUSTRATED SCREENPLAY & SCREENCAP GALLERY |
|
[Dennis Kline, FBI Investigator] Through good training and through good diligence and through the tremendous amount of concentration and hard work and effort that was put in by the search team, that evidence was found. Luck was made in this case by a very strong cooperative effort among law enforcement and military services in this case. And that's what brought the successful resolution to the identification of the people involved in that bombing.
[Narrator] Then another twist in turncoat Zurich Bollier's story.
After a visit by Americans on December 28, 1988, he signed a document one week after Pan Am 103 was destroyed, a document in which Mr. Bollier swears his timers were of a model only sold to Libya, signed even before the use of a bomb had been made public, before the miraculous groveling search, a thousand Scots in lines on hands and knees find the smoking fragment.
Mr. Bollier had sold so much to so many he could be blackmailed. So in that situation, he signed. Now he says the document can belong to whomever pays him $2 Million cash.
[Woman] After three years of one of the most complex and exhausting investigations in history, head of the inquiry, Lord Fraser, names names.
[Lord Fraser, Lord Advocate Scotland] The two accused are Abdul Baset Ali Mohamed al-Megrahi and al Amin Khalifa Fhimah.
[Martin Fitzwater, Whitehouse spokesperson] That the investigation has come to this conclusion is not a surprise. We are now actively considering what actions to take.
[Robert Mueller, U.S. Assistant Attorney General] We have no evidence to implicate another country in this disaster.
[Douglas Hurd, British Foreign Secretary] I understand the investigation has revealed no evidence to support suggestions of involvement by any other countries.
[Martin Fitzwater, Whitehouse spokesperson] In the coming days, the President will be consulting closely with Prime Minister Major and other world leaders to fashion together a cooperative international response to this latest terrorist atrocity by Gaddafi's government.
[Bert Ammerman, brother of Tom Ammerman] Today marks the milestone in the nearly three years of unresolved grief and unrelenting persistence to find the truth.
Today we call upon the political powers of all civilization to send a strong and unequivocal message to Libya and all states that aid, abet, harbor, sponsor and support terrorist activities that they will no longer be tolerated in the world community.
[Abdel Basset Ali Al-Megrahi, Libyan suspect] I was astonished when I heard my name and my country being accused. This caused both me and my family great anguish.
[Lamin Khalifah Fhima, Libyan suspect] I didn't see my presence in Malta as an opportunity to participate in the terrorist act of which they are accusing me. My contacts in Malta are quite well known and anyone can ask about me.
[[illegible] Nasser, Libyan hotel employee, Malta] I know him. I know he would never have lied. But when the __ it was put on him, because his name, sometimes believe it.
[Louis Agnis] I don't really believe it. All the ones that knew him never believed that he did it.
[Man] Of course I don't believe this. I mean, everybody they had the same opinion in a way, he's not such a person.
[___ Nasser, Libyan hotel employee, Malta] He is so soft that they give him a nickname the egg which means he's very very soft.
[Abdel Basset Ali Al-Megrahi, Libyan suspect] I see no justification for this. What can I say? A whole nation has unjustly accused me. I know of no reason why. If I knew of any I would have told you.
