Libya began Wednesday to transfer the USD 2.7 B compensation that the country agreed to pay to the families of those killed in the Lockerbie airliner bombing, US officials said. The cash is being paid into an account at the Bank for International Settlements (BIS) in Switzerland. Libya accepted last week responsibility for the 1988 bombing of Pan Am Flight 103 over Lockerbie in Scotland and agreed to pay up to USD 10 M to each of the families of the victims. However, the UK and Bulgaria have now co-sponsored a resolution for the removal of UN sanctions against Libya imposed in 1992 over Lockerbie. Bulgaria dismissed Wednesday suggestions that there was any link between its involvement in tabling the motion and court case in Libya against the six Bulgarian medics accused of infecting Libyan children with HIV.
