Barringer, Felicity. "Libya Admits Culpability in Crash of Pan Am Plane." New York Times, 16 Aug. 2003. [http://www.nytimes.com]
On 15 August 2003, Libya "formally accepted responsibility for the 1988 bombing of Pan Am flight 103 in general language that lacked any expression of remorse for the 270 lives lost when the plane exploded over Lockerbie, Scotland. A letter containing Libya's admission and its pledge to compensate the survivors and renounce terrorism was presented to the [UN] Security Council president as part of a carefully choreographed diplomatic pas de trois between Tripoli, London, and Washington, all to pave the way to the final lifting of United Nations sanctions against Libya early next week."

Libya "said in a letter delivered to the U.N. Security Council [on 15 August 2003] that it is responsible for the actions of Libyan intelligence agent Abdel Basset Ali Megrahi," convicted of the bombing of Pan Am Flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland.
De Graaff, Bob. "The Fight Against the New Fanaticism: A Losing Battle for the Western Intelligence Communities?" Journal of Intelligence History 3, no. 2 (Winter 2003). [http://www.intelligence-history.org/jih/previous.html]
From abstract: "The author opines that nowadays too much emphasis is being laid upon a military approach [to try to counter the phenomenon of 'modern fanaticism'], detracting from the use that can be made of intelligence and security services. However, these services are ill equipped to operate against the new fanatics. Often they still function according to principles dating from the Cold War."
