The United States has revealed that a joint US-Libyan humanitarian fund for victims of terror would amount to $1.8 billion.
$1.5 billion would be paid by Tripoli, the rest by Washington. US assistant secretary of state David Welch said that Libya had made an initial "substantial" deposit into an account for the fund. The funds are to compensate families of the victims of the 1988 bombing of a Pan Am flight over Lockerbie, Scotland, and the 1986 bombing of a Berlin disco, as well as those from US reprisals.
