World IN BRIEF : WORLDWIDE : Pan Am Bomb Warning Told
<i> From Times staff and wire service reports </i>
An insurance investigator’s report on Pan Am’s ill-fated Flight 103 shows the United States was warned an hour before takeoff about a possible bomb, Rep. James A. Traficant Jr. (D-Ohio) said. He released five pages from what he said was a report prepared for Pan Am’s insurance company. It indicates the CIA got a warning from West German intelligence about a suspicious suitcase on the plane. The CIA termed the report “nonsense.” The plane blew up last December over Lockerbie, Scotland, killing 270 people.
