Susan – who said she once worked for the CIA and DIA in her book Extreme Prejudice – explained in a talk in Seattle in 2011: “The Defence Intelligence Agency had gone into Lebanon and were gathering forensic evidence to prove the CIA’s role in heroin trafficking.
“They boarded Pan Am flight 103 that morning and they were flying back to Washington to deliver their report, with heroin, cash and banking records.
“They were going to expose the whole lot and that’s when the plane was bombed.”
She suggests the drug trafficking was allowed by the US government in return for the CIA gaining information on the whereabouts of American hostages.
