Libya pledges to dismantle weapons programs after admitted past aims
The Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi apparently acknowledged efforts to develop weapons of mass destruction and now vows to dismantle all such programs. U S and British leaders described the move in the wake of the Berlin disco bombing that killed Libyans and Americans, including Gaddafi's infant daughter. The timeline recalls the 1988 Pan Am 103 disaster over Lockerbie and subsequent UN sanctions and negotiations, with Libya later surrendering suspects and sanctions easing as talks progress.
