- Share via
From Times Staff and Wire Reports
The Security Council decided to continue the sanctions it imposed on Libya a year ago over the 1988 bombing of Pan Am Flight 103 that killed 270 people, and the United States raised the possibility of eventually adding an oil embargo. The existing mandatory sanctions involve an arms and aviation embargo and the downgrading of diplomatic ties. They were imposed after Libya failed to surrender for trial two men indicted in Britain and the United States for involvement in the bombing.
