Of the three broad scenarios in circulation the Libya/Megrahi one is the least likely. In fact a fairy transparent stitch-up would be more accurate.
I'm torn between Blum's widely held 'Iran financed the PFLP-GC' theory and the CIA Drugs related internal feud one, with the latter having the edge IMHO.
Charle's point about our tendency to see institutions as monolithic structures is important because, as often as not, it's result is to hide the obvious 'in plane sight'
There's a fairly comprehensive summary of that case here.
That is fascinating Peter. Thanks for the link. I had no idea...
