Gaddafi met relatives of Lockerbie bombing victims in New York | Libyan dictator Muammar Gaddafi recently met the relatives of some of those who died in the tragic December 1988 bombing of Pan Am Flight 103 over Lockerbie in
Scotland, and offered his condolences to them in New York. Gaddafi is in New York
to attend the United Nations General Assembly. "I met some of them. It was a friendly
meeting. I offered my condolences to them for the relatives they lost," Gaddafi
said in a CNN interview. Gaddafi further said that it was a tragic incident and
a major catastrophe, which could never be supported. "No one would support an
action like that or be touched and moved by a tragedy like that. Terror in all
its forms is a common enemy to all of us," he added. One of the relatives who
met Gaddafi was Lisa Gibson, a lawyer and executive director of a humanitarian
group called Peace and Prosperity Alliance, who lost her brother Kenneth Gibson
in the bombing. "Gaddafy shook my hand and we exchanged the general pleasantries.
You never really can predict what he will do or how he will respond. But, one
thing is true. Few people can resist a gesture of authentic goodwill motivated
by love," the New York Post quoted her, as saying. "I shared with him that I have
been to Libya three times and have truly fallen in love with the Libyan people,"
she added. |
