Victims of Libyan-sponsored IRA terrorism are asking the Government to use Muammar Gaddafi’s frozen assets to pay them the compensation they should have received while the dictator was alive.
Victims of Libyan-sponsored IRA terrorism are asking the Government to use Muammar Gaddafi’s frozen assets to pay them the compensation they should have received while the dictator was alive.
The demand follows The Telegraph’s disclosure that David Cameron has appointed
his senior security adviser to lead a new drive for justice for victims and
their relatives.
Gaddafi funded and armed the IRA from the mid-Eighties onwards, supplying the
terrorists with the Semtex plastic explosive used in a series of atrocities
both in Northern Ireland and on the British mainland.
Investigations by this newspaper have shown how intervention by Tony Blair led
to a deal in which American victims of IRA bombings received millions of
pounds in compensation from Libya, while British victims received nothing.
It meant that US victims of the Harrods bombing in 1983, for example, received
millions of pounds in compensation while Britons killed or wounded were left
out of the deal.
