[0:16] >> Panam flight 103. Three years later,
[0:19] Washington names the culprits.
[0:22] We charged that two Libyan officials
[0:25] planted and detonated the bomb that
[0:27] destroyed Panama Flight 103.
[0:30] >> But today, new evidence that the case
[0:32] against the two Libyans is flawed. And
[0:34] new questions over whether the two men
[0:36] being sought are the wrong men.

[1:18] evidence that Libya may not be involved,
[1:21] or at least is not the key player. Time
[1:23] magazine in the issue out today cites a
[1:25] 1989 FBI memo that seems to strike at
[1:29] the heart of the US government's case.
[1:31] The memo says there's no proof that a
[1:33] Libyan suitcase was ever loaded on board
[1:35] the Panama flight. Without that link, it
[1:38] would be hard to prosecute the
[1:39] government's case against the Libyans
[1:41] and hard to justify the international
[1:43] sanctions against Gaddafi. Which may
[1:46] explain why Assis
