FAMILIES of Libyan children infected with Aids have accepted more than $400 million (€290m) in compensation, a move which could lead to a death sentence on six foreign medics being lifted.

LIBYA will pay $10m (€9.1m) to each of the 270 victims of the 1988 Lockerbie airliner bombing after accepting civil responsibility for the blast, Foreign Minister Abdel Rahman Shalgham said.
