Same goes for America, plus we used our WMD against civilians. I don't believe in retrospect that the use of WMD is justified in any case. Yet, when the A-bomb was used, leaders debated it and felt it was. I think it's wrong. It <Khadaffi Lockerbie> hasn't been proven. He paid reparations. Everyone but you believes he was behind it. An April 1996 report on proliferation issued by the Office of the Secretary of Defense came to the same conclusion in regard to Libya. It noted it particular, that and I quote: [Page: H6472] Libya probably dedicates several hundred million dollars annually to acquire nuclear, biological and chemical weapons and missiles made possible by its substantial income from oil and gas exports. In the most recent State Department report on global terrorism, it was noted that the end of 1995 marked the 4th year of Libya's refusal to comply with the demands of U.N. Security Council Resolution 731. This measure was adopted following the indictments on November 1991 of two Libyan intelligence agents for the bombing in 1988 of Pan Am flight 103 which killed 189 Americans. This resolution endorsed the demands of the United States, the United Kingdom, and France that Libya turn over the two suspects for trial in the United States or the United Kingdom, pay compensation to the victims and fully cooperate in the investigations into the bombings of Pan Am 103 and UTA flight 772. U.N. Security Council Resolution 748 was adopted in April 1992 as a result of Libya's refusal to comply with UNSCR 731. Resolution 748 imposed sanctions that embargoed Libya's civil aviation and military procurement efforts and required all states to reduce Libya's diplomatic presence. globalsecurity.org
