The United States on Tuesday offered a $5 million reward for information about a 1994 plane bombing in Panama blamed on Lebanon's Hezbollah that killed 21 people.
Alas Chiricanas Flight 901 exploded midair after taking off from an airport in the Caribbean province of Colon.
All those onboard -- mostly members of the Central American nation's Jewish community -- were killed, including three Americans.
"The U.S. Office of the Director of National Intelligence has assessed that Hezbollah was responsible for the bombing of AC 901," a statement released by the U.S. State Department and Washington's embassy in Panama said.
"Following the attack, an individual by the name of Ali Hawa Jamal, who also died in the bombing, was identified as the suspect who carried the bomb aboard the aircraft," it said.
The offer was welcomed by relatives of the victims.
