Why the truth may never be known about the bombing of PanAm 103
Article Abstract:
The Lockerbie bombing incident involved the deaths of 270 people when a Boeing 747 exploded above Scotland and crashed into Lockerbie in Dec 1988. Two Libyans have been accused of planting the bombs that led to the deaths. The suspects were working in Malta for Libyan Arab Airlines. There are still uncertainties relating to the case, and some critics argue that Iran could have been responsible, with the help of Syria, and that Libya was used as a scapegoat.

After 87 years of cuts behind closed doors, the censor finally asks film-goers what they think
Article Abstract:
The British Board of Film Classification is to issue draft guidelines designed to clarify precisely what is and what is not allowed in a film which has been awarded one of its classifications. It has indicated its willingness to respond to evidence that it may have been too strict or too relaxed in specific cases. However, it will not consider any changes that would be harmful, and will also not change the rules relating to the portrayal of drug-taking.
