LONDON: Talks between British, US and Libyan officials in London on Thursday about compensating families of victims killed in the 1988 Lockerbie bombing have “made progress” and have been adjourned, the Foreign Office said.

“Today’s trilateral discussions made progress and we look forward to continuing them... at some later date,” a Foreign Office spokesman said.

“The talks made progress on clarifying the issues between the three governments on moving towards Libya’s meeting the requirements of the UN resolutions.”

The meeting was part of discussions which have taken place since Libyan intelligence agent Abdel Basset Ali al-Megrahi was convicted in the case.
