Libya: Lockerbie Suspects Get Passports By SALAH NASRAWI Associated Press Writer CAIRO, Egypt (AP) - Libya has provided passports to two suspects in the 1988 Pan Am bombing, a sign their promised handover was under way, Arab diplomats said Saturday. The move followed reports that the chief U.N. legal counsel, Hans Corell, had left for Europe on Friday on his way to Libya to arrange for the handover. Lamen Khalifa Fhimah and Abdel Basset Ali al-Megrahi are to be tried under Scottish law in the Netherlands. The diplomats, speaking on condition of anonymity, said both men have received their passports, which were taken from them by the Libyan government following their 1991 indictment by a U.S court. Libyan leader Col. Moammar Gadhafi ordered the passports returned, they said. Terms of the deal call for the U.N. Security Council to suspend sanctions imposed in 1992, including an air embargo, as soon as the suspects arrive in the Netherlands. Details of the handover have been kept confidential - so much so that the United Nations isn't expected to announce it has taken place until after the men have left Libya. In a related development, Libya is sending the head of its national airlines to Egypt this week to prepare for resumption of flights between the countries once sanctions end. Egyptian Civil Aviation officials said Mohammed Ebseim, head of the Libyan Al-Jamhiriya Airlines will arrive in Cairo on Tuesday or Wednesday to discuss details for resuming the flights. Libya is believed to have five civilian planes left in neighboring Egypt after the sanctions were imposed. The planes would require general maintenance before they are allowed to fly. dailynews.yahoo.com
