...Muammar Gaddafi finally ready to make amends? In an interview with TIME, the Libyan ruler said his country will accept responsibility under international law for the 1988 terrorist bombing of Pan Am Flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland, which killed 270 people. In exchange for Libya's admission and payments of $2.7 billion to the families of victims, he said, the U.N. sanctions that have blocked the world from doing business with Libya would be lifted - and eventually the U.S. would end its own sanctions and remove Libya from its list of state sponsors of terrorism. But the ever-erratic ruler...
...recurred last week, as the Bush Administration continued its foolish refusal to meet with the North Koreans: Why not do the one thing that would most discomfort, and perhaps even destabilize, the precarious regimes of the Ayatollah Khamenei, Kim Jong Il and--for that matter--Fidel Castro and Muammar Gaddafi?

Nor did they when he jetted off to Southeast Asia on vacation or to Zambia for a meeting or to Libya to visit his friend Muammar Gaddafi. People are busy with other worries, like what to feed the family. You might only notice when Mugabe's convoy - jeeploads of soldiers and that shiny black Mercedes - speeds by on its way to the airport. (It's illegal now to make rude gestures as it goes by; apparently...
...Paris Métro case alone. It's party to proceedings arising from the Karachi bombing last May, and the Sept. 11 attacks, which killed five French citizens. SOS Attentats is also party to a suit filed last month in a Washington, D.C. federal court against Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi for his role in a 1989 French airline bombing, for which six Libyans have already been convicted - in absentia - by a French court.
