...internal investigation. (The CIA station chief in Guatemala was recalled to Washington around the time the inquiry began.) Concurrently, Harbury was told that the U.S. was "doing everything we could to encourage the Guatemalan military authorities to investigate," according to McCurry.

Britain and France, who also want to try the Libyan intelligence officers, have agreed to help. But Secretary of State Warren Christopher, in announcing the plan today, conceded that it would be tough to persuade the rest of Libya's dozen-odd European customers to scrap flourishing oil deals with the country. President Clinton, mindful of pressure by families of the 270 bombing victims, has twice asked the U.N. Security Council...
