The conspiracy I most believe in is to do with the Lockerbie bombing. A US passenger plane was blown up over a small Scottish village on December 21, 1988 killing 270 people.
Iran were responsible for the bombing - but the Americans blamed Libya instead.
This was because "Mad Dog" Colonel Gaddafi was a convenient scapegoat at a time when the US wanted Iran as an ally in the first Gulf war. And blaming the bombing on Iran drew attention away from America's culpabilty in their own misfortune.
Iran carried out the bombing in retalliation to an accidental missile attack by the US on an Iranian passenger jet 5 months earlier. That mistaken attack caused the death of 290 innocent Iranian civilians.

Later on - the Scottish government agreed to release the convicted Libyan bomber (Abdelbaset al-Megrahi) from prison on 'compassionate grounds' (due to his sufering from cancer) since he was going to appeal his conviction. And one of the conditions of his release on 'compassionate grounds' was that he drop any right to appeal. It is interesting to note that he lived for another three years after his release. And there are allegations that an arms deal was behind the release as well:

When Gaddafi handed over the Libyan 'suspect' (back in 2001) - it allowed Libya to re-establish normal relations with other countries. Resulting in billions of pounds of contracts for British and American companies.
This isn't just me saying this. Even the doctor who is the head of the Lockerbie victims group doesn't believe the official story.
