Putting It Together, Bit by Bit
</hdr><body>
<p>By Sidney Urquhart/Reported by Daniel S. Levy
</p>
<p> One tiny fragment sifted from the tons of debris that
rained down over Lockerbie, Scotland, may at last reveal who
blew up PAN AM 103. While both Syrian and Palestinian terrorists
have been suspected of planting the bomb, the focus has shifted
to the Libyan intelligence service. Scottish police, baffled by a
fingernail-size bit of electronic circuitry from the wreckage,
shipped it off to Washington. When FBI lab analysts compared the
shard with the printed-circuit boards of two unexploded bombs
taken from Libyan agents in Africa, it was a match. FBI agents
and Scottish investigators tracked the timers to a Swiss
electronics firm, which acknowledged selling two dozen to the
Libyan government. A grand jury in Washington is expected to
indict several Libyan intelligence agents in November.
