The Maltese Double Cross - Lockerbie WMV VHS rip 320 x 240 WMV 2 hours 35 minutes The Maltese Double Cross ? Lockerbie takes a critical look at some of both evidence and witnesses that would eventually figure at the Pan Am Flight 103 bombing trial in 2000: the MST?13 timer fragment, Edwin Bollier, Alan Feraday and Dr Thomas Hayes come under particular scrutiny. The CIA\\\\\\\'s Vincent Cannistraro and the FBI\\\\\\\'s Thomas Thurman are exposed to strong criticism by colleagues. The film disputes the accusation by Britain and America that Libya was behind the bombing, concluding instead that the bomb was most likely introduced onto the aircraft by an unwitting drug mule, Khaled Jafaar, in a CIA-protected suitcase. Abolhassan Bani-Sadr, former prime minister of Iran, lends his weight to the theory that the Lockerbie bombing was in retaliation for the shootdown by the USS Vincennes of an Iran Air passenger aircraft in July 1988. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Maltese_Double_Cross_?_Lockerbie

Because of hostility by lawyers and by relatives of PA 103's U.S. victims, the film has never been shown on television or in movie theaters in America.

An investigation into the crash of Pan Am Flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland.
The famous film by Allan Francovich.
Showings of the film in Britain were canceled under threat of lawsuits, and venues burglarized or attacked with arson. When Channel 4 agreed to show the film, the Scottish Crown Office and the U.S. Embassy in London sent press packs to the media, labeling the film "blatant propaganda," and attacking some of the film's interviewees, including Coleman and Aviv. Additionally, Francovich said he had learned that five CIA operatives had been sent to London and Cyprus to discredit the film while it was being made, that his office phones were tapped, and staff cars sabotaged, and that one of his researchers narrowly escaped an attempt to force his vehicle into the path of an oncoming truck.
Lockerbie investigators went so far as to ask the FBI to investigate the film. The Bureau later issued a highly derogatory opinion of it.
The film's detractors made much of the fact that the film was initially funded jointly by a U.K. company (two-thirds) and a Libyan government investment concern (one-third). Francovich said that he was fully aware of this and had taken pains to negotiate a guarantee of independence from any interference.
On April 17, 1997, Allan Francovich suddenly died of a heart attack at age 56, upon arrival at Houston Airport.38 His film has had almost no showings in the United States.
