The mother of one of the Lockerbie victims has hit out at confusion caused by the Libyan Prime Minister following his denials that his country was not responsible for the bombing outrage.
Shukri Ghanem said his country had paid damages to families of Lockerbie bombing victims to "buy peace" and escape sanctions. He also denied that his country had any involvement in the shooting of PC Yvonne Fletcher outside the Libyan Embassy in London in 1984.
But today Jane Swire, whose 24-year-old daughter Flora was one of 270 people killed when PanAm flight 103 was blown up over the Scottish town on December 21, 1988, said she could not understand what Mr Ghanem was doing.
Mrs Swire, aged 65, formerly of Burcot, near Bromsgrove, but now living in the Cotswolds, said: "Libya had accepted responsibility for Lockerbie and the United Nations sanctions have already been lifted.
"Whether Libya will now go back on this and what they have admitted remains to be seen."
