<p>When it became clear in May 2008 that the US and Libya were proceeding on a bilateral
agreement to settle outstanding claims, the UK Government made representations to
the US and Libyan authorities to include UK victims of Libyan-sponsored IRA terrorism
on the list of recipients. Unfortunately this proved not to be possible. The Libyans
made clear that they had answered questions about their support for the IRA in 1995
and considered the matter closed.</p><p>We want to see a just solution for all of
the victims of Qadhafi-sponsored IRA terrorism, and we remain determined to make progress.
Once stability returns, and our embassy re-opens, we will again encourage the Libyan
authorities to engage with UK victims and their legal representatives seeking redress,
including those seeking compensation.</p>
