Saudi paper says Lockerbie
bombing suspects could be
tried in Scotland

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates
(Reuters) -- Saudi mediators have
given U.N. Secretary-General Kofi
Annan the details of a deal allowing
two Libyan suspects in the 1988
Lockerbie bombing to be tried in a
Scottish court, a Saudi-owned
newspaper reported on Saturday.

The London-based Asharq al-Awsat quoted informed sources at the United
Nations as saying that the details of the agreement were worked out after
mediators managed to persuade Britain "to provide special privileges in jail
for the two suspects if convicted."

Mediators from Saudi Arabia and South Africa have been trying to secure
Libya's agreement to hand over the two suspects -- Abdel Basset Ali
Mohammed al-Megrahi and Lamen Khalifa Fhimah -- for trial at a Scottish
court in the Netherlands.

Libya has declined to let the two suspects face trial on neutral ground for the
bombing of the Pan Am jumbo jet, which killed 270 people. Libya has said
it does not want them to serve their prison sentence in Scotland if convicted.

"An informed source at the United Nations said that the Saudi team
presented United Nations Secretary-General Kofi Annan the latest details of
the agreement and described it as a big success for all the parties and an end
to a big and complex crisis," Asharq al-Awsat said.
