Libya's leader Muammar Qaddafi said the US oil companies have paid back the money, which his country gave for compensations of the Lockerbie assault victims' families.

27 April 2007, Friday - The US has paid back the compensations, which Libya gave for Lockerbie assault, the Jamahiriya's leader Muammar Qaddafi said in a speech two weeks ago.

"We have paid off the compensations to the victims' families but the US oil companies, which wanted to enter our country had to pay such fees that they brought this money back to Libya. So, what we gave with the right hand was later taken with the left," Qaddafi explained.

"Our country keeps peaceful relations with the US because their attitude toward Libya is the same. We would be utter fools to bump our heads against the wall as only the mad suicides do it," the leader added.

The terrorist assault over the Scotland village of Lockerbie, made on December 21 1988, took the lives of 270 people.

The Scotland Court, which sat in the Netherlands, decided the Libyan Abdel Basset Ali Mohmed Al-Megrahi is responsible for the bloodbath in the British sky. [He alone?! - HR]

The accused was quickly sentenced in 2001.
