one that destroyed Pan Am Flight
103 exploded while being examined
today, killing an investigator in a
case involving Palestinians sus-
pected of terrorism.
Another officer was critically
wounded in the explosion at federal
police headquarters, said spokes-
man Arno Falk of the police bureau.

bomb had been seized in connection
with the Pan Am investigation, but
the manner in which it was dis-
guised was said to be similar. Asked

part of the police building was evac-
uated as a precautionary measure,
the police statement said.
Investigators in the Pan Am
crash, which occurred Dec. 21., in
Scotland, have concluded the bomb
exploded when a detonator sensi-
tive to air pressure set off plastic;
explosives packed into a combina-
tion radio and cassette player
stored in the cargo hold.
A bomb so disguised was among
