Gadhafi's request, Mr. O'Brien set out, very clearly, the steps that Libya had to take for the lifting of sanctions. He reiterated the main points of the Security Council resolutions, making clear that these conditions must be met in full," the spokesman added.

Abdel Baset Ali Mohmed Al-Megrahi , 48, was found guilty of murder on Wednesday, and sentenced to life in prison in Glasgow. He will be eligible for parole in 20 years. A second defendant, Al Amin Khalifa Fhimah , 44, was found not guilty and is expected to return to Libya. After the verdict was announced, Libya called for a complete lifting of U.N. sanctions imposed after the Lockerbie bombing, and said it sought better relations with the United States. However, U.S. President George W. Bush said at a meeting with members of Congress that Libya should remain isolated until Gadhafi agrees to "accept responsibility for this act and to compensate the families."

Demography / Map Bibliography Source: The World Jewish Congress T he Jewish community of Libya traces its origin back to the 3rd century b.c.e. Under Roman rule, Jews prospered. In 73 c.e., a zealot from Israel, Jonathan the Weaver, incited the poor of the community in Cyrene to revolt. The Romans reacted with swift vengeance, murdering him and his followers and executing other wealthy Jews in the community. This revolt foreshadowed that of 115 c.e., which broke out not only in Cyrene, but in Egypt and Cyprus as well. The first Jewish National Fund Committee, Tripoli, 1915 W ith the Italian occupation of Libya in 1911, the situation remained good and the Jews made great strides in education. At that time, there were about 21,000 Jews in the country, the majority in Tripoli. In the late 1930s, Fascist anti-Jewish laws were gradually enforced, and Jews were subject to terrible repression. Still, by 1941, the Jews accounted for a quarter of the population of Tripoli and maintained 44 synagogues. In 1942 the Germans occupied the Jewish quarter of Benghazi, plundered shops, and deported more than 2,000 Jews across the desert, where more than one-fifth of them perished. Many Jews from Tripoli were also sent to forced labor camps. Conditions did not greatly improve following the liberation. During the British occupation, there was a series of pogroms, the worst of which, in 1945, resulted in the deaths of more than 100 Jews in Tripoli and other towns and the destruction of five synagogues.

Story Tools RELATED Libya takes Lockerbie blame Full text of Libyan letter to U.N. 'Families still want answers' Lockerbie crash timeline ... Bank for International Settlements QUICKVOTE Should sanctions against Libya be lifted? Yes No VIEW RESULTS WASHINGTON Libya has begun transferring $2.7 billion to an international bank as part of a settlement for the 1988 Pan Am 103 bombing over Lockerbie, Scotland that killed 270 people, a U.S. official said. "The Libyans are beginning the transfer of funds. Because it is such a large sum, $2.7 billion, it will not be deposited all at once. Some will go in tomorrow. Some could go in Friday," the official, who asked not to be identified, told Reuters. Last week Libya delivered a long-awaited letter to the United Nations accepting responsibility for the bombing. Following the letter, a Libyan bank was to transfer $10 million for each victim's family into an escrow account at the Bank for International Settlements, headquartered in Basel, Switzerland, as compensation for the bombing.

Special Reports SERVICES Video E-mail Services CNNtoGO Contact Us SEARCH Web CNN.com Key facts: Libya sanctions The UTA jetliner bombing killed 170 people. Story Tools (CNN) The U.N. Security Council on September 12, 2003 lifted sanctions against Libya, triggering the release of up to $2.7 billion to the families of the 270 people killed in bombing of a Pan Am airline over Lockerbie, Scotland, in 1988. On January 8, 2004, Libya also signed a $170 million compensation deal with the families of 170 people killed in the bombing of a French airliner in 1989 over the Niger desert. Here is a short fact box on sanctions on Libya. What are the sanctions? U.N. sanctions The U.N. Security Council imposed an air and arms embargo and a ban on some oil equipment on Libya in 1992 and 1993 to pressure Tripoli to hand over two Libyan suspects for trial. Sanctions were suspended when Libya turned them over in April 1999. Britain restored diplomatic ties with Libya in 1999 when the two accused Libyans were handed over to the UK for trial. Intelligence agent Abdel Basset al-Megrahi was convicted. The second suspect was acquitted. To have the U.N. sanctions permanently lifted, Libya had to pay compensation to the families of the victims, take responsibility for the attack, renounce terrorism and agree to cooperate in further investigations.
