WI: Al Qaeda does Lockerbie Bombing

WI instead of Libya blowing up Pan Am 103, Al Qaeda does? Would that bring them into the forefront of international terrorisim earlier? If so how would the world respond to knowing about the dangers of Islamic extremism earlier?
 
Al Qaeda did not yet exist and its predecessors were still too busy fighting in Afghanistan. Further, there were already warning signs in Lebanon with Iranian back extremists stirring up trouble including the bombings of the US embassy and the barracks in Beirut by Islamic Jihadists.
