Saudi envoy and Gaddafi in Lockerbie talks Lockerbie suspects: Abdel Basset Ali al-Megrahi and Lamen Khalifa Fhimah Libyan leader Colonel Muammar Gaddafi has held new talks about handing over for trial the two suspects in the Lockerbie bombing, the UK Foreign Office has confirmed. Colonel Gaddafi met Saudi Arabia's ambassador to Washington, Prince Bandar bin Sultan, in Tripoli on Tuesday to discuss UK and US demands for the two suspects to be sent for trial in The Netherlands. On Thursday the UK Foreign Office confirmed the meeting had taken place but denied reports they were a last-ditch attempt to secure the handover before the UK and the US went back to the United Nations to demand tougher action against Libya. A Foreign Office spokesman said: "We were aware of Prince Bandar's talks in Libya but he was not there to negotiate on our behalf." He said the UK Government welcomed the efforts of Saudi Arabia and South Africa to persuade Libya to comply with the US-UK initiative and UN resolutions. He added: "We would not wish to describe the talks as last-ditch but it is clear that Libya has had several months to consider the US-UK initiative and has received comprehensive clarifications on it. "We await an early formal response through the official channel of the UN secretary general's office." The only outstanding dispute is over where the men would serve their jail sentences if convicted by Scottish judges sitting in a special court in The Netherlands. The UK and US insist the men should be jailed in Scotland if found guilty of blowing up the Pan Am jet in 1988, killing 270 people. The prince and a South African envoy also met the Libyan leader last month and said afterwards they believed the suspects - Abdel Basset Ali al-Megrahi and Lamen Khalifa Fhimah - would be handed over within weeks. But the US government has said that unless Colonel Gaddafi hands over the men in February, they will seek tougher sanctions against Libya.
