 | | One hundred and eighty nine of the victims were American citizens, and the bombing was widely regarded as an assault on a symbol of the United States, standing as the worst act of terrorism against that country before September 11, 2001. |
 | | Some of the PA 103 relatives' groups believe that the second motive was prematurely discounted by investigators, though for many months after the bombing, the prime suspects were the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine-General Command (PFLP-GC), a Damascus-based rejectionist group led by former Syrian army captain, Ahmed Jibril. |
 | | In connection with the PA 103 investigation, the late King Hussein of Jordan arranged for Khreesat to be interviewed by the FBI and Thomas Thurman, the American forensic investigator, during which Khreesat described in detail the bombs he had built. |
