LONDON — Britain made no demands that Libya offer compensation for Britons killed by Libyan explosives supplied to the Irish Republican Army for fear it could jeopardize ties with Tripoli, according to new documents released Sunday.
The revelation prompted accusations that Britain had acted to protect energy deals and added to questions about whether trade ties influenced last month’s decision to release Lockerbie bomber Abdel Baset al-Megrahi. The news outraged British survivors of IRA bombings — particularly since U.S. victims of IRA attacks have secured a separate compensation deal with Tripoli.
