Representatives of Lockerbie victims to meet Gaddafi tomorrow

One of the two representatives of the British families who were killed in the plane crash Pan-American over Lockerbie in 1988 when 270 persons were killed, Jim Swire, said that he will visit the Libyan capital on Saturday with Law Professor Robert Black, hoping to meet with Libyan President Col. Muammar Gaddafi in a step arranged by Arab League Secretary-General Esmat Abdul Meguid and announced on Thursday.

In a meeting at AL headquarters, the two men announced that they will propose new suggestions to Tripoli through the AL to try the two Libyans suspected of beign involved in exploding the plane. The proposals provide for the two Libyans to be tried in a neutral country -- presumably, at the Hague, in Holland -- and before an independent judicial commission to be tried according to Scottish law. MENA reported.

Abdul Meguid said the two men will arrive in Libya through Jarba gate on the Tunisian border with Libya. He described the meeting with the representatives as "fruitful," noting that the AL seeks to "realize justice and to reveal the truth in the context of honoring Libya's sovereignty."
