Don't like being included on Dubya's Axis of Evil List? Try offering $5bn as compensation.

[smh 30.05.2002]

In a bold attempt to get off America's terrorism list, Libya is offering $US10 million in compensation for each victim of the 1988 Lockerbie bombing that killed 270 people, United States officials and lawyers say.

Libya would place a total of $US2.7 billion ($4.8 billion) in escrow and compensation would be conditional. Each of three payments would be linked to decisions by the United Nations and the US Government to lift longstanding economic sanctions and to remove Libya from the US list of state sponsors of terrorism. | source
