- Narrowing the Suspects List

- <p> Four months after Pan Am Flight 103 was blown up by a bomb
- concealed in a radio-cassette player, nobody has been charged
- with the crime. But U.S. Government sources say it is now
- believed that the bomb was carried onto the Boeing 747,
- apparently unknowingly, by a passenger who died in the
- explosion.
- </p>
- <p> The U.S. sources say the investigation has narrowed down to
- between five and ten passengers. One of these is Khalid Jaafar, a
- Lebanese-American student en route from Frankfurt to Detroit to
- visit his parents. They say he could not be the unwitting
- bomber, as a photograph taken before his departure shows him
- carrying only a soft-sided bag. Still, Jaafar could have been
- given another suitcase, one containing the bomb, before
- boarding the doomed flight at Frankfurt.
