A spokeswoman for the Foriegn Office said: “The UK Government has profound sympathy for UK victims of Qadhafi-sponsored IRA terrorism, and for all victims of The Troubles.“Providing compensation specifically for the actions of the Qadhafi regime, separate from the support available to victims of the Troubles, is the responsibility of the Libyan State.“We will continue to press the Libyan authorities to address the Libyan State’s historic responsibility for the Qadhafi regime’s support for the IRA.”
This came in statements reported by the Northern Irish daily Belfast Newsletter on Wednesday.
