Libya demands proof of involvement in 1988 bombing of Pan Am jetliner
The Associated Press
ROME — Libya asked for evidence yesterday that two Libyans were involved in the 1988 bombing of a Pan Am jetliner over Lockerbie, Scotland, that killed 270 people. It was responding to a British extradition request for the two.
Libya's justice ministry said it would cooperate with legal authorities to get to the truth. It asked for evidence so a magistrate could evaluate allegations in warrants for the arrest of Abdel Basset Al-Al-Megrahi enmil Khaleh Fihhm on murder charges.
The United States and Britain, backed by France, say they are considering which sanctions to employ against Libya if it does so. The United States and Washington declined to rule out military action.
The countries have identified the pair as Libyan intelligence agents.
Libya denies any government involvement in the bombing of the London-to-New York flight Dec. 21, 1988, which killed all 259 people aboard and 11 people on the ground.
"The aim behind these unjust accusations has now become clear: Libya was meant to
be the scapegoat in the deal to release Western hostages," said the release carried by Libyan television.
It said Libya would accept the "role of scapegoat ... as long as it leads to the release of innocent people and clears the name of parties who are dear to us."
In Paris, the foreign ministry summoned Libya's ambassador to emphasize France's intent to pursue to the end judicial proceedings arising from Libya's alleged role in the attack and in the 1989 bombing of a French plane, a ministry representative said.
Italian Premier Giulio Andreotti and Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak said force should not be used to punish those responsible for the Lockerbie bombing, Andretti representative Pio Mastroboulli told reporters.
The warrants, announced in Washington and Scotland last week, say al-Megrahl and Fimhah plotted sabotage of civil aircraft while working for Libyan Arab Airlines.
Two British lawmakers, Bernie Grant and Tam Dalyell of the opposition Labor Party, will go to Libya today to try to persuade officials to comply with the extradition request. They said they feared the alternative would be a potentially disastrous military confrontation between Britain and the United States on one side and Libya on
The Libyan statement, carried by the official Libyan news agency, JANA, said a magistrate had been assigned to investigate the accusations. The dispatch, monitored in Rome, did not say whether the two men would be turned over if the magistrate received evidence of their guilt.
the other.
The justice ministry demands from any interested party in Britain and the United States, including families of the victims, to present all the information and evidence they have to the assigned investigating magistrate, either directly or through Libyan embassies, the ministry said. It promised full cooperation.
France also alleges a Libyan role in the bombing of a UTA DC-10 jumbo jet over Niger on Sept. 19, 1989, which killed all 170 people aboard.
French Judge Jean-Louis Brugiere
on Oct. 30 charged three Libyans, including the brother-in-law of Libyan ruler Col. Moammer Gadhafi, with conspiring to carry out
U. S. bombers flying from Britain struck targets in two Libyan cities, Tripoli and Benghazi, on April 14, 1986, in retaliation for a discouche bombing in West Berlin in which three people died and 200 were injured.

Eight people were given tickets early Saturday morning and Saturday evening for underage and public drinking, according to Lawrence police reports.
Five women, ages 19 and 20, were given tickets for underage drinking at 12:15 a.m. Saturday at the Power Plant, 901 Mississippi St.

Bombing suspects identified
Lawrence police said yesterday that 10 bombings that had been reported since Wednesday in West Lawrence were the acts of Lawrence High School students.
Lt. Mike Hall of Lawrence police said police had identified a number of suspects involved in the bombings and had conducted interviews with 11 Lawrence High School students. No arrests have been made.
The explosions that occurred are powerful enough to split open mailboxes, and police have contacted the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms in Kansas City, Mo., he said.
Hall said the bombings were a dangerous activity, and he urged parents to talk to their children.
The bombings all have occurred in West Lawrence. Most of the explosions have been in mailboxes.
Three of the bombings occurred at a house in the 3000 block of Westdale Road, according to police records. The bombs were made with two-liter plastic bottles and a reactive mixture of acid and foil, police said.
Hall said police would send the reports of the incidents to the Douglas County District Attorney's office for review for prosecution.
Burge released from hospital
Frank Burge, the 70-year-old former director of the Kansas Union, was released Saturday afternoon from the University of Kansas Medical Center in Kansas City, Kan., a hospital supervisor said yesterday.
Burge was taken Nov. 1 to Lawrence Memorial Hospital after a car hit him as he was riding his bicycle near 15th and Iowa streets. The car left the scene of the accident.
Injuries that Burge sustained in the accident were a broken thigh, hip and ankle. Burge was taken to the KU Medical Center the morning of Nov. 2. The supervisor said that Burge left the hospital in good condition.
