Perhaps the most unsettling possibility is that the hand behind the blast will never reveal itself and never be discovered by anyone else. Though two Libyan intelligence agents were indicted in the downing of Pan Am 103, they have never been brought to trial, and no nation or group ever came forward to take responsibility. Just blocks from the World Trade Center, the walls of the Morgan Guaranty Trust Co. are still scarred from the effects of a bomb that was hidden in a horse-drawn wagon on Sept. 16, 1920.
