Al Jazeera America today announced that the channel will air a new documentary, “Lockerbie: What Really Happened?,” providing evidence to support what many have suspected for years — that Iran was behind the Pan Am 103 atrocity over Lockerbie in 1988.

The revelations will be broadcast in an Al Jazeera America documentary to air on Tuesday, March 11th at 9 p.m. ET/6 p.m. PT and repeats at midnight ET/9 p.m. PT on Tuesday and Sunday, March 16th at 9 p.m. ET/6 p.m. PT.

In December 1988, a bomb destroyed Pan Am Flight 103 over the Scottish town of Lockerbie, killing 270 people. A Libyan citizen, Abdel Baset Mohamed Ali al-Megrahi, was eventually tried and found guilty of the largest case of mass murder in UK history. But Megrahi has always maintained his innocence and many serious commentators have continued to express doubts about this conviction.
