 Pan Am Flight 103 - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography
On December 22, 1988, the day after PA103 was sabotaged, apartheid South Africa was scheduled to sign an agreement handing over control of South-West Africa (Namibia) to the United Nations, a territory that it had been illegally occupying for decades, in defiance of the UN Security Council.
If the apartheid regime could prevent the UN Commissioner for Namibia, Bernt Carlsson, from assuming control of Namibia upon signature of the agreement then an important South African political objective would have been achieved (see History of Namibia).
Carlsson was due to attend the signing ceremony in New York but his travel plans were changed at short notice and, as a result, he became one of PA103's 270 victims.

A Swedish diplomat by the name of Bernt Carlsson was musing about the parlous state of this fragile blue orb.
At the time, Carlsson was the United Nations Commissioner for Namibia, and he happened to find himself one morning in a rather gloomy lounge at the international airport in the Angolan capital of Luanda, a largely gutted city, where he was chatting with a couple of foreign journalists.
World leaders, said Carlsson, were finally recognizing that it was time to put ideological differences aside in order to salvage the planet and preserve our place upon it.

Normally flights around Christmas are full; Pan Am 103 was only two-thirds full.
All sorts of fanciful (or not so fanciful) theories abounded, from (DEA and or CIA) drug operations gone wrong, to a possible attack on the five intelligence personnel, to one that suggested Bernt Carlsson, a high ranking U.N. diplomat, may have been the intended target.
Against this background, the world was told in November 1991 that U.S. and Scottish investigators had finally found the real culprits.

At least once during the ground search CIA investigators wore Pan Am uniform; and according to one unrefuted allegation, CIA operatives temporarily removed a suitcase from the site that belonged to one of their agents, thereby breaking the Scottish police investigators' "chain of evidence", which could be crucial to any successful prosecutions.
 Also on board Pan Am 103 was Bernt Carlsson, the Swedish U.N. diplomat who had just completed negotiating the Namibian independence agreement with South Africa.
He was due in New York the next day to sign the agreement.
