Libya said yesterday the United States was behind "unjust" UN Security Council sanctions imposed on Tripoli over the Lockerbie affair, and vowed not to succumb to pressure, Al Wafd daily said today.

The security council on Friday retained sanctions imposed on Libya since 1992 for failing to hand over for trail two suspects in the 1988 mid-air bombing of a Pan Am airliner over Lockerbie, Scotland.
