A campaign to raise a $2.5 million reward for the capture of the terrorists responsible for the bombing of Pan Am Flight 103 will be launched today in Washington, a London newspaper reported. The Sunday Telegraph said that Bruce Smith, whose British wife, Ingrid, was one of 270 people who were killed when the Boeing 747 exploded Dec. 21 over Lockerbie, Scotland, will announce the campaign. Smith, a Pan Am pilot, will pledge the first $100,000 of the reward from his share of compensation offered by Boeing to relatives of the dead passengers, the newspaper said. Investigators have concluded that Pan Am Flight 103 was destroyed by a bomb hidden inside a radio-cassette player.
