Tripoli, 21 December 2022 (Lana) - Prime Minister of the Government of National Unity, Abdul Hamid al-Dabiba, welcomed US confirmation that the agreement concluded between the two countries in 2008 regarding the Lockerbie case would not be opened.

"I welcome the confirmation of the United States of America not to open the agreement concluded on compensation, and the issuance of a criminal red card from Interpol, I had already confirmed to our Libyan people, who were subjected to a massive misleading campaign," Al-Dabaiba said in a tweet posted on his Twitter account.

The US announced, Tuesday, that it will not reopen the agreement concluded in 2008 between the United States and the Libyan government at the time, stressing that the agreement settled the claims of America and American citizens against Libya resulting from certain terrorist incidents, including the attack on Pan Am Flight 103.

It said in tweets posted on the website of US embassy in Libya, that “the agreement obligated the United States to end the current lawsuits for financial compensation in American courts arising from these incidents,” stressing that the agreement prevents the filing of any future lawsuits against Libya.
