The US is bound by shared history to Africa - a history that has been a source of much pain and conflict.

Murder in St James's.

Dispatches - Murder in St James's (1997)

Investigation into the murder of WPC Yvonne Fletcher, who was shot whilst on duty during a protest outside the Libyan Embassy in 1984. The two-part documentary suggests that she was killed, not by someone inside the Embassy as originally claimed, but by a gunman in an adjacent building used by the British security services. The film probes deeper, and finds evidence indicating that the murder was carried out by an anti-Gaddafi terrorist organisation backed by the CIA. By killing a British police officer and blaming Gaddafi's Libya, the plan, it seems, was to start a coup in order to remove Gaddafi and install a puppet regime to seize Libya's oil. The downing of Pan Am 103 over Lockerbie could have been another attempt at this plan to remove Gaddafi - see below
