QWhy did Abbott want to blame Bourne for fouling Landy's exchange?
AAbbott's name was mentioned in the Neski file as a traitor, which is the reason why he had Bourne assassinate Neski seven years earlier. When the Neski file resurfaced and nearly came into Pamela Landy's possession, Abbott had to try and keep it out of her hands and keep her from digging into the Treadstone project. He tried to shift suspicion to Alexander Conklin (Chris Cooper) who was already dead and could not defend himself. Abbott set up Bourne as the one who had killed Landy's agents and stolen the file. Abbott also asked his partner Gretkov to hire an assassin to get rid of Bourne in India because, with Bourne out of the way, it would be a dead end for Landy's investigation. Bourne was the ideal scapegoat anyway, as he was the one who silenced Neski, so it made some sense that Bourne would try to finish his mission and get rid of Neski's surviving testimony. The big flaw in the plan was that Bourne was supposed to die in India, which did not happen. On the contrary, this only caused Bourne to become personally involved in the plot.
