Coincidental turn of events? Frontline "reposts" this series on Dec 20th, 2020, and the very next day DOJ announces charges on the very person Ken finds? Someone had some inside information. I watched this series when it was released. Ken is the absolute definition of investigative journalism. And, in my opinion, has very much made David proud, along with everyone else touched by this.
Watching this after the horrific floods in Libya. My condolences to the country. My thoughts are with David. To lose a sibling who had so more to live is unbearable. For the people who are complaining that he has a minute of his kids in the documentary, it's clear from the title of the doc that this is a different style of doc. "My Brother's Bomber" indicates that it is going to be a very personal style of doc. The first couple minutes of part 1 indicates his style. Real investigative journalism is often a web with dead ends and unclear "answers" and is not always linear story or path. I wish there wasn't so much money to be made off of conflict in the world. Hoping we will have world leaders who work towards peace.
Congratulations Ken!!! You got justice for your brother. DOJ announced today that new charges would be filed against Abula Agela Masud for building the bomb used to bring down Pan Am 103.
Ken, I just found this and wonder how you pressed on. Your courage and determination must be applauded. And your wife deserves sainthood. Incredible work, thank you.
Truly shows that no case goes cold,Ken you did the job sufficiently by pulling out the needle in a hay stack. Great reporting 👌🏾 remember your brother lives in you bro.
Excellent documentary....imagine my surprise that while watching this on DEC 21, I hear that Abu Masud was charged. Ken’s reporting lead officials to Masud....Just amazing.
Stories stop There’s no such thing as Ghost’s My Mom said so stop Hay if You can hear Me in there give Me back My little brother stop It’s My turn to little brother stop
Great work, Mr. Dornstein, and kudos to Frontline for working with you to get this out there. As an aside, imagine the headlines if DT had been in office during the Libya bloodbath and aftermath.
Wow this was a powerful story of seeking for answers and more importantly the truth. I can remember very vividly I might add not only the Lockerbie Bombing but the Discotheque Bombing in West Germany years before. I was stationed in Spain with the U.S. Navy during this time and was deployed frequently to both West Germany and The United Kingdom. Watching this I definitely felt a sense of sadness, loss and hope that the truth would come to the light. Thanks for sharing this with us. I will always remember your brother David. His great smile and happy outgoing attitude about life. ✌🏽🇺🇸🙏
You've done an excellent job uncovering the truth and exposing some of the names involved. But this story has so much more and involves bankers, former Interpol chiefs, and multiple intelligence services. Your diligence has certainly exposed quite a lot and will hopefully inspire others to connect all the dots. The truth deserves it. The victims deserve it. And justice demands it.
What a mind F...watched this whole thing then saw in the news they are going after the guy Ken was getting info on like...I know it's possible other intelligence people knew about him but obviously Ken did a wicked good job discovering who he was and what he did...congrats man
Ken, what a ride. I so wanted you to have your moment to interview that guy! Someone at the FBI probable thought they were doing you a favor . Go live your life with you cute an intelligent children I'm bitter for you so you don't have to be :))
@@naomicatherine1245 has no idea how failed states work, but feels that she can comment on your neural activity. Sounds like a Trump supporter, arrogant and ignorant, the stuff failed states start with along with a charismatic demagogue at the helm. Literally had a failed coup 2 weeks after your condescending comment. SMH
Great investigative journalism. However I'm disappointed in the current style of making the journalist such a star. I found it particularly annoying that he involved his family so often in his story when it was unnecessary.
Kono. You don't understand English grammar completely. Brother is simply brother. When you add ('s) at the end, it means: the bomber of my brother. David from London
Through years he pursues a guy mispronouncing his name. Every single time he hears the name it is pronounced with a "J" sound and throughout he sticks to his mispronunciation. What's up with that?
Evidently, you have a point 36:53, on an otherwise astonishing will to find answers. Feels like everyone wants a brother like Ken and that nobody should.
I can try to answer this question. The way Ken pronounces the last name is close to a word he would be familiar with. It is common to native English speakers who are familiar with Jewish American or Israeli culture. Please note that I am summarizing, Jewish culture is not monolithic, varying tremendously by country and religious practice. Briefly, there are different ways to practice the religious part of being Jewish. The three primary categories are reform, conservative, and orthodox. Secular Jews, those who are Jewish by identity but who do not go to synagogue or keep kosher are a large group. There are many commonalities that span the different categories. This is one of them. Hava Nagila is a song that older Jewish people are familiar with and have taught their children and grandchildren. It is played as a folk song in Hebrew in Israel and also in the United States. People dance to it at weddings and other celebrations. It is my guess that he pronounced the name this way because it was easier and seemed more familiar. The other possibility is a word that sounds very similar to what Ken was saying. It is used to describe a way of styling hair where the hair is wrapped around a woman's head to straighten it. This is more in Sephardic culture in Israel. While I was watching this I had the same thought about the name, and I wondered about the pronunciation.
@@Kyarrix that's a generous explanation, point's well taken, thank you. As a curiosity; How's the word for "a way of combing one's hair in order to straighten it up" pronounced?
@@kayhan101 When I was 17 I was living in Israel and dating a Moroccan guy. His sisters had wavy hair and they would do this thing where they would wrap their hair tightly around their heads while it was still damp to straighten it. The word they used when referring to that process was almost identical to what Ken says when he pronounces the name, Abu Hageilah. That is the term they would use. I don't know if it was a colloquialism or where it derived from but that's what they said. I lived in Israel for some years, I speak fluent Hebrew so I wasn't missing anything and when I asked I was met with a shrug. They said yes we're going to do this and they offered to do it for my hair too!
Something I heard and read was so true that I myself would not understand it, until I heard it! When people say that there is something being done about the death of a loved one that is going to help bring closure to a death! This is so haunting horrifically wrong with and for the individual's who lost there loved one, truly never really sees closure, it's a way to feel we recognize it and now we need to move one! Now I say there always needs to be a something we can do, prevent or help the individual that lost their loved one absolutely, but we need to remember that those who lost their loved one never receives complete closure, reducing or a end to their suffering of their loss!! We need to remember this every time, but still tries to ensure we as a society will stop, reduce the likelihood or prevent the impact of the causes of that death of a loved one! As a former Fire Chief and Paramedic I have told family and friends that there loved one is dead is extremely important exhausting, a bit of my sanity is removed, and that I choose my words very carefully because I will be that one person that will always be the one who told them that their loved one is dead! I as the leader or most senior need to do this so that another person doesn't have too! I do this because it is my calling from God and at the same time trying to reduce or ensure something positive comes out of typically the worst time of that individual's life! If I know what caused that loss or issue I always try to ensure justice or something that can be done to stop the loss! Every single life is priceless even if that same life or individual doesn't believe it! One individual can change a nation or thousands or millions of people in hundreds or thousands of years in the future! When someone commits suicide they bring others down in their despair by taking their own life! By showing love and compassion, can change a individual life to direct there lives from evil to non evil! I have mad respect for this guy's brother to personally find out what happened is exactly what my brother or I would do!
it absolutely should have, and was designed to be. Ken has been a frontline reporter for 18 years and a producer for 16. he didn't undertake this investigation as simple a personal mission, but a professional one as well.
Abu Agela was never convicted for Lockerbie, so not right to say he made the device. That he was flying with the apparent maker of the devise the day of Lockerbie and that all these guys met him at the airport creates beyond reasonable doubt that Megrahi was guilty. That doctor has Stockholm Sydrome.
I bet, the rabbits hole end reaches the US government doors... The provoker for trying to influence terrorist with american ways. That's like wrapping a lion in a Christmas present and giving it to a kid.
He spent the first two episodes “finding out his name” and now everyone knows and knew his name the whole time??? Also there is a whole second story to this that Libia was paid to take the blame and another state actor was to blame. That really has some sense to it, so odd he doesn’t Ever consider the other route and its widely available!!!
On the 3rd July 1988 the USS Vincennes, a US warship deployed in the gulf blew an Iranian passenger jumbo out of the sky (Iran Air Flight 655). The USS Vincennes was nicknamed Robo Cruiser by the rest of the US fleet because of its aggressive nature. Lockerbie happened on 21st December 1988. This documentary starts 6 months too late.

What a fantastic piece of Journalism!!! Bravo Sir... may David and the rest of the victims rest in peace
amazing journalism. Hope the time since has found him some peace. So heartbreaking to imagine losing someone this way.
David was lucky to have a brother like Ken. He solved the case , now arrest them FBI. They were both fortunate. Excellent documentary, well done.
Ken's gonads are almost as big as Trump's - going to Libya in the aftermath of Hillary's 'Arab Spring'. He's damn lucky to get out from there alive.
Meet Joe Dirt Biden I seek to find radio personalities and personalities. Phone a friend stop
Watching this after the horrific floods in Libya. My condolences to the country.

Mueller knows a LOT more than people think!
2 years later…crap you have unlimited patience
Victims must not stop fighting against impunity.
