In interviews by an ATF agent in Colombia, the "Confessor" stated, among other things, that he was responsible for making the bomb that destroyed Avianca Flight 203 and that the explosive consisted of 5 kilograms of an "ammonium based gelatin dynamite."
Like Hahn, Korsgaard concluded that a fuel-air explosion occurred on the Avianca flight.
Hahn theorized that the pitting on the Avianca aircraft was caused by jetting resulting from a deformation on the explosive's surface that was, in effect, a small shaped charge.

D. The Avianca Case (Part Three, Section E) The Avianca case involved the midair explosion aboard Avianca Airlines Flight 203 shortly after its takeoff from Bogota, Colombia, on November 27, 1989.
The Avianca case was an unfortunate instance in which communication broke down between examiners and supervisors in the Laboratory, and in which the EU examiner testified to opinions that were not justified by his experience or the applicable science or that exceeded his expertise.
As to cases in which we criticize the work of FBI Laboratory personnel, such as in the World Trade Center and Avianca cases, the FBI and U.S. Attorneys have responded by saying, in essence, that nothing in the Report should be read as affecting the outcome of those cases.

 FBI Response - Part I.
If Hahn's testimony is followed in sequence, it tracks a series of photographic exhibits, which depict the particular damage to Avianca Flight 203 indicating that an explosive device had been used on the aircraft.
The fact that Hahn may not have realized at the time he testified in Avianca that some degree of pitting could be caused by an explosive with a lower VOD does not suggest that his testimony was intended to buttress the prosecution’s case.
The Avianca investigation was conducted by a team of investigators, including National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) investigators, industry specialists, and agents of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) who have explosives background and training.

In the Eastern District of New York, a defendant, reputed to be a highly placed hit man for the late Pablo Escobar and Medellin cartel, was sentenced to life in prison on numerous charges including the bombing of Avianca Flight #203, and the extraterritorial murders of two United States citizens aboard the plane.
This is a direct result of several incidents such as the Tokyo subway gas attack, the continuation of the Pan Am Flight 103 bombing investigation, the Oklahoma City Federal Building bombing, and the Amtrack train sabotage/wreck in Arizona.
This interaction continues to increase due in part, to the greater awareness on the part of United States and foreign law enforcement of the threat that terrorists pose and the importance and necessity of the timely exchange of information.
