Libya: "All obstacles have been cleared away", sanctions to be suspended once the two suspects arrive for trial

Envoy Says Libya Suspect Deal Set
By EDITH M. LEDERER Associated Press Writer

UNITED NATIONS (AP) March 25 - Saudi Arabia's U.S. ambassador, who helped negotiate Libya's acceptance of a deal to try two suspects in the Lockerbie bombing, said all obstacles have been cleared away for their handover by April 6.

''I think it's a win-win situation for everybody,'' Prince Bandar bin Sultan said Thursday. ''We're relieving the suffering of the Libyan people and we're also seeing justice being done for the families of the victims.''

Bandar spoke to reporters after briefing Secretary-General Kofi Annan and the five permanent members of the Security Council on his trip to Libya last week with South African President Nelson Mandela that resulted in Libya's announcement that the two suspects would be turned over for trial in the Netherlands.

''It was announced that it will definitely be by April 6 and that still stands,'' the Saudi ambassador said. ''I am not aware of any problems at this stage.''

The 15-member Security Council on Tuesday repeated its intention to suspend sanctions once the two arrive for trial and to lift them entirely ''as soon as circumstances permit.''
