A Plane exploded in Scotland on the 21st of December in the year of 1988. There was a bomb in the cargo killing everyone on board and 11 residents on the ground. Also the plane was 31 thousand feet off the ground. The British said this was a attack on America. Terrorist were accused of the bombing a plane Frankfurt while it was in the airport. This may be attack because of America accidently shot down a commercial plane and it killed 290 people were killed or when America bombed Libya killing dozen and the leader’s daughter. Before the plane took off the US ambassador in Finland got word of the bomb, but the ambassador ignored it.
