"I welcome America's confirmation that it will not reopen the agreement reached on compensation, and the issuance of a red notice by Interpol," tweeted Dbeibeh. "This is what I confirmed previously to the Libyan people, who were subjected to a massive misinformation campaign." The Lockerbie agreement obliged the US to terminate existing lawsuits for financial compensation in US courts arising out of these incidents and precludes any future suits, confirmed Washington. Last week, Dbeibeh announced that his government had handed over Masud "to wipe the mark of terrorism from the Libyan people's forehead." On 31 January, 2001, a special Scottish court sitting in the Netherlands sentenced Libyan Abdelbaset Al-Megrahi to prison for the downing of Pan Am 103 over Lockerbie.
