Le jugement qui aboutit à la condamnation de l’agent secret libyen Abdelbasset Megrahi aurait-il été le fruit de tractations inavouables ? Une commission officielle écossaise a conclu qu’il pourrait s’agir d’une erreur judiciaire. Des preuves auraient été falsifiées, des témoins manipulés. Depuis octobre 2011, le FBI et la police britannique étudient de nouvelles pistes en Libye, en Allemagne, en France, au Togo et au Sénégal. Dans plusieurs de ces pays en effet, on avait découvert avant le drame des ateliers de fabrication de bombes. Abdelbasset Megrahi n’aurait-il été qu’un bouc émissaire arrangeant les Britanniques et les Américains ? En interrogeant divers experts ainsi que des personnes qui avaient jusque-là gardé le silence, les documentaristes avancent une nouvelle hypothèse trop longtemps négligée : c’est l’Iran qui aurait été à l‘origine de l’attentat.
