Just been watching Air Crash Investigations episode featuring the above.
Quite interesting, that according to David Learnont, the Italian Authorities completely ignored the findings of an air crash investigator, and published an official report contradicting it.
Investigators found evidence that a bomb had gone off in the rear toilet, and IMHO pretty much conclusively proved it, but the Italians went with a "theory" that it had been shot down by a missile, even though there was less evidence to support this.
