Families of the victims of the Lockerbie bombing are Libya's links on demands for a full investigation to the attack, divided, guardian has learned, how exposed that Scottish police had met the Libyan defector and former Foreign Minister Moussa Koussa.

A role in securing a controversial apology and promise of compensation by Libyan rebels for Lockerbie and Libya's link to IRA bombings played two U.S. relatives of the victims of the bombing, Paul Hudson and Victoria Cumnock.

She wrote to all the Lockerbie related on Wednesday she asked to support a "vocal and consistent" demand for a full investigation by us prosecutors in Libya's role in the attack after the withdrawal of Koussa late last week.

Koussa met voluntarily Scottish prosecutors and Dumfries and Galloway detectives at a secret location Thursday to answer their questions about his level of knowledge about the Lockerbie bombing. The Crown Office refused to disclose what was said "to preserve the integrity of the investigation".

But Cumnock and Hudson, for a new group with the name of the Gaddafi terror victims initiative, the United States and UK tried Governments to cover up, Libya's role in the attacks of faulty arrest Koussa and that him access to its overseas wealth.

Cumnock and Hudson claim treat Koussa to half-heartedly, despite warnings from intelligence sources, that it is unlikely that useful information about the Lockerbie attack on Pan Am flight 103, which killed 270 passengers, crew and people on the ground in December 1988.

"We have more than terrorism waited 20 years for Justice, accountability and the truth of the terrible facts of the Gaddafi regime," she said. "No Government should be truth, justice and accountability for the diplomatic convenience and oil revenues can suppress."

Jim Swire, a prominent Lockerbie campaigner whose Tochter flora has killed in the attack has written in Hudson and Cumnock, and his letter in other Lockerbie families, attacking their campaign as "unwise" and "deeply insecure foundations" copies.

Swire said the Gaddafi terror victims initiative was probably because it was more difficult during a war, to find out the truth.

Information or claims dissenters had to with great suspicion, because their motives difficult verify obscure and the quality of their information would. The rebels in Benghazi now say their excuse illegal and under pressure from the Government of the United Kingdom were made.

Swire's letter, which has been leaked to the guardian, said: "the words of the defector to Benghazi or Moussa Koussa, come, with the greatest care should, be considered to take account of their present situation." "War generates fog and truth is then more difficult to get."

In their open letter to other Lockerbie families Cumnock and Hudson's Koussa said treatment after his conversion clear evidence for U.S. was complicity in a cover-up to protect U.S. business interests in Libya. This complicity began 20 years ago when the United States enable Scottish prosecutors agreed to check the Lockerbie investigation, rather than the much tougher US legal system use.

"This is a scandal and a clear case of political expediency over justice." Both the United States and UK are clearly trying to obstruct justice and to legitimate law enforcement - along with all others - under the carpet sweep obligations. We can only sit in our hands as farmers and allow this to happen. We must hear our Government from us that this will we tolerate no longer leave, "she said."

Hudson and Cumnock's initiative is now closely linked to another initiative to compensate for the British relatives of victims of IRA atrocities with Libyan Semtex, which is headed by a British lawyer Jason McCue, meeting rebel leaders in Benghazi was carried out.

A document signed the Libyan rebels in the town of Libya's role in the IRA attacks and Lockerbie apologize and promised 10 million each $ ($ 6) compensation of IRA victims families, after a meeting with McCue.

The rebels later claimed they were from the British Government to sign the document converted and misunderstood, which contain it. Essam Gheriani, a spokesman for the revolutionary Governing Council, said that the Chairman of Mustafa Abdul Jalil, he felt comply with international recognition to win and you gain access to Libyan money it had abroad.

"The whole world knows that the Libyan people responsible for Gaddafi's actions over 40 years." "An apology is not justified, for the simple reason that the Libyan people of these actions was not involved in", said Gheriani.

Swire warned that that made extremely difficult Libyan civil war and the collapse of the regime of Gaddafi's unconfirmed information support, which came from dissidents or dissenters. He said, the only man sentenced the considerable doubts about the guilt the attack, Abdelbaset al-Megrahi, and allegations that us and UK intelligence fake prove agencies against him, made it very difficult to find out the truth about Lockerbie.

"War, generated as Libya now, fog not clarity;" now to try do not have time to add an additional layer of security the existing structure, in the hope to explain what happened, its foundations are reducing anyway soon, click, ", he said the other related."

"The accusations of those in Bengazi, or of the same by Moussa Koussa are particularly difficult to assess laced at this time, as she will be with strong, but partially hidden motivations."
