旁白: 洛克比空难是具有里程碑意义的恐怖袭击事件,对西方国家影响深远。美国等国家在事件发生前收到预警,但未采取有效措施。调查显示炸弹来自利比亚,但真相的某些方面仍存在争议。卡扎菲政权长期以来被西方国家妖魔化,这与其将恐怖主义作为外交政策工具有关。卡扎菲政权的奢侈与利比亚人民的贫困形成鲜明对比,引发国内不满,并导致一系列动乱。苏联解体后,卡扎菲失去主要支持者,其在国际舞台上的影响力下降。在非洲,卡扎菲被视为英雄,但在利比亚国内,他的统治却备受争议。卡扎菲试图建立泛阿拉伯和泛非联盟,但最终未能成功。他被加冕为"非洲之王",但其统治的合法性始终受到质疑。洛克比审判的结果并未令所有人满意,对真相的质疑仍然存在。梅格拉希被判有罪,但其始终坚称无罪。 Mary Fitzgerald: 卡扎菲多次向爱尔兰共和军提供武器,其中最显著的事件是1987年法国当局截获一艘来自利比亚的船只,船上装有大量武器弹药,包括Semtex炸药。卡扎菲在利比亚国内塑造了一种叙事,将爱尔兰共和军置于反帝国主义框架中,这在一定程度上影响了利比亚民众对爱尔兰共和军的看法。 Professor George Joffe: 洛克比空难的真相可能永远无法查明。调查中存在一些未解决的问题,例如炸弹中衣物的购买日期,这给确定罪犯带来了困难。

Shownotes Transcript

In 1988, Gaddafi takes his terror to the skies, bringing down a passenger flight over Lockerbie, Scotland. Staffers at the Pentagon team up with Hollywood executives to shore up public opinion against the tyrant. Meanwhile, the Colonel himself looks south - across the Sahara - and prepares to be crowned 'King of Kings'.
