Libya’s exiled former intelligence ‘knows who killed WPc Yvonne Fletcher’

Hopes of finding the killer were raised following the revolution which removed
Col Muammar Gaddafi last year. But it was only agreed this week that British
detectives would visit Tripoli to investigate the case.

Commander Richard Walton, head of the metropolitan police force’s counter
terrorism command, said: “We have never lost our resolve to solve this
murder and achieve justice for Yvonne’s family.”

Mr Keib said he “would leave it to the investigators” to find Pc
Fletcher’s killer and would not specify if he knew who fired the fatal shot
from a first floor window of the building in St James’s Square.

The prime minister also met victims of the Lockerbie bombing, in which
Senussi, a brother-in-law of the late dictator, is suspected of involvement.
Wanted by the International Criminal Court, he is accused of numerous
crimes, including a massacre at Tripoli’s Abu Salim prison.

After laying his floral tribute, Mr Keib gave a speech saying that considering
the challenges his nation faced emerging from the shadow Col Gaddafi, it was “making
excellent progress”.

“We have been making that progress continuously to democracy and the rule
of law,” he said at the Chatham House think tank.

But critics said new laws granted amnesty to revolutionaries who committed
abuses and preclude criticism of the state. .

Defending the National Transitional Council, he said that the country was
facing very tough conditions where opponents wanted to jeopardise its move
to democracy.

He promised restrictive laws would eventually be erased after the elections
next month which should bring the formation of new, permanent assembly.

His first visit to London as a young man in 1965, when he lived in Adelaide
Road, Swiss Cottage, brought back nothing but happy memories, he said.
